Islamic Libertarian Socialism

Certain schools of thought within Islam have argued for a society that reflects principles similar to Libertarian Socialism. Notably the Kharijites, Najdat, Nakkariyah, Ibāḍiyya and Muʿtazilites. Notable muslims who have advanced positions similar to or were inspired by libertarian socialism include Ali Shariati, Jalal Al-e-Ahmad, Sheikh Bedreddin, Hakim Bey, Si Mahmoud Saadi and Abdul Karim Jossot.
