Naturally, it will depend on what you mean by Libertarianism and Socialism.
To take just the issue of “redistribution”, Milton Friedman was for a negative income tax and guaranteed minimum, apparently Hayek was as well, Thomas Paine had his Agrarian Justice. According to your terminology, are these guys Libertarians, Socialists, or neither? Libertarians with “some degree of Socialism”?
Tabooing the terms may get you farther, as then you may identify the particular policies you’re concerned with.
UPDATE: Friedman’s support of a negative income tax and vouchers were intended by him as a temporary measure, a way to wean people off of government support. Saw him talk about it on a video recently, but haven’t been able to dig up the link.
