Since people like to argue definitions, here's something to chalk on the board at the coffee house:
GIVEN: Libertarian socialism (sometimes called social anarchism, and sometimes left libertarianism) is a group of political philosophies which promote a non-hierarchical, non-bureaucratic, stateless society without private property in the means of production.
RESOLVED: Belief in the abolition of software patents and the use of FOSS software to create start-ups is a Libertarian Socialist view.

Your system would end the Knute two people decided to organize a venture for profit, or to keep a stick they found on the beach. You need an all seeing state to take that stick from them and keep them destitute.
