What the fuck is libertarian socialism?

I was told it was the first form of libertarianism. This was before it was used to describe capitalist libertarianism in the USA.
Libertarian Socialism is a political philosophy that combines libertarian principles with socialist ideals. At its core, it emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and autonomy alongside social and economic equality. Unlike traditional forms of socialism, which often advocate for centralized planning and state control, libertarian socialism promotes decentralized forms of organization and decision-making, with a focus on voluntary cooperation and mutual aid among free individuals.
Freedom and equality have never gone hand in hand in any historical case study that existed at scale
A society you can opt out of.
No taxes for guy living in the woods growing his own food. No taxes for selling the food.
Taxes for selling poison and calling it food. Taxes for importing fancy food you can't grow here. Nothing anyone is forced into
That's a paradox.
Socialism, in any form, is faced with the economic calculation problem.
