    There is a classic distinction between “authoritarian socialism” and “libertarian socialism” going back to at least the First International.

    To put it simply: Authoritarian Socialists believe in the necessity of the State to achieve Communism; Libertarian Socialists believe in the necessity of abolishing the State to achieve Commumism.
