Libertarian socialism is no less legitimate as socialism than authoritarian socialism. I would argue libertarian socialism is possibly even more ideologically pure despite the common argument it’s less realistic or less pragmatic. M-L type authoritarian socialism is totally valid (though imo there’s an argument to be had whether China still counts as meaningfully socialist). Calling fellow socialist tendencies fake is counterproductive.
Also I agree with the other reply, Rojava is not the best example or even necessarily a great example of libertarian socialism, it’s just (as critical supporters of China like to say) “existing socialism”.
I just wanted to shitpost.

Yeah this is a fair assessment, I just wanted to dunk on Rojava stans. I talk a lot of shit about Anarchists, but I'd die fighting beside one. <3
