 Anarchism
The debate is most frequently engaged in between libertarian socialists and anarcho-capitalists, with socialists claiming that the existence of property results in wage slavery, while capitalists assert that self-ownership is impossible without property.
Libertarian socialists argue that private property is a fiction enforced by illegitimate institutions which do not account for the needs and desires of the individuals they affect, and that beyond "personal possession" of immediate goods, the idea of property is only maintained by institutions which enforce property laws.
Libertarian socialists do not believe that the mere ability to disassociate from a given employer is an adequate form of representation, given that the employers as a class can continue to dictate use of resources and compel others into wage-slavery once the association is disbanded.

 Ireland's OWN: Women Freedom Fighters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America take this opportunity to recognize the contribution of the many women who have participated in the twinned struggles for socialism and Irish national liberation, as well as to raise its voice in support of women's liberation in Ireland.
Women's liberation is a cause which must be embraced by all Irish socialists as an immediately pressing goal and it is with an understanding of this that the Irish Republican Socialist Party has identified the recruitment of more women into its ranks as one of its three major undertakings for the present year.
As socialists, we seek the liberation of the working class of Ireland and it is impossible to speak of the liberation of that class, while the majority of its members--working class women--remain oppressed by sexism.

 Ireland's OWN: History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The INLA rebuilt itself slowly and was the only republican paramilitary there at the barricades in 1996 and 1997 to challenge the Loyalist mobs backed by the RUC during the summer marching season.
Yet while discussion begins regarding the decommissioning the Provisional Irish Republican Army, both the INLA and IRSP have taken strong positions in opposition to the INLA ever surrendering its weapons, and we anticipate that they will continue to keep their promise to maintain themselves in arms until a 32-County Socialist Republic has been won.
As an unabashedly revolutionary socialist and republican movement, the IRSM deserves-even demands, simply by its existence-the solidarity and support of other revolutionaries internationally, just as it is compelled to lend its solidarity to others fighting for the same aims as ourselves.

Over time there were various mixtures of republicanism along with democratic theories of the rights of individuals, which (for instance in the Age of Enlightenment) would find expression in the formation of "liberal" and "socialist" parties.
In many states of the second kind there are active "republican" movements that promote the ending of even the nominal monarchy, and the semantic problem is often resolved by calling the state a Democracy.
See Republicanism in the United States for the connotations of the terms "democracy" and "republic" in the 1787 context when this article was written.
