Maybe spend some time reading up on it. Libertarian socialism is the umbrella term for different anarchist schools of thoughts, it's not something I came up with. And spoiler alert, there is no one single "anarchism". So if you want to criticize it, be more precise. The US brand of "libertarianism" has very little to do with the origins of the term, they came late to the party.

Also, since you seem interested in history, here are two books, that portray the communities, without them being overly dogmatic:
- Anarchy’s Brief Summer THE LIFE AND DEATH OF BUENAVENTURA DURRUTI, Hans Magnus Enzensberger
- Beer and Revolution
The German Anarchist Movement in New York City, 1880-1914, Tom Goyens

Absolutely not. I imagine the most direct forms of democracy and ditch the representatives if they don't represent. So unlike pretty much all nations, actually taking democracy seriously and seeing it trough to all its consequences. Very different thing.
