Internationalist "Socialism" as it was applied does indeed seem contradictory to libertarianism, but in reality, socialism was an idea that was developed as a way to direct and prepare society to libertarianism.
Social-anarchists are some of the oldest "left" revolutionary factions on western socieities, and upon historical divisions, some people like Marx concluded that imposing an utopian libertarianism out of nothing would never work since the capitalistic economy and mentalities is deeply rooted on our societies, and that people would need to be "equalized" in terms of resources, opportunities, social consciousness , and equally educated, so they ellaborated "transitional" means to achieve the desired ends. These transitional means obviously would consist in antagonize capitalistic temptations as well as gradually reduce the need for a central government, and society to be "decentralized" into local true democracies.
The society we live in would certainly need a temporary regime in order to adapt all our production and resources into being socially advantageous instead of capital beneficting, for example, eliminate overproduction and "economic lifespan" of a product, that would certainly reduce the need to waste so many workload and resources that could be redirected into other needs for the society.
