Socialism is not inherently authoritarian. Yes, 20th century socialism following Lenin's example was. But it's not inherent.
Socialism is about workers controlling economic production - at it's core. That's a democratic, anti-authoritarian idea.
Libertarian socialist like me are extremely salty at the leninists and others like them for giving the rest of us a bad name.
