libertarian socialists are against hierarchical systems in... the economy.

So no, not an oxymoron.

Centralising the means of production under the state seems to increase hierarchy - instead of having many businesses in many private hands you'll get larger state owned monopolies.

 

Is there a real life example of libertarian-socialism in action?

Libertarian socialists don't believe the state should control means of production, they believe that workers should. That's literally what makes it libertarian socialism. There are different degrees of libertarian socialism of course, as their is with any political ideology, but the core tennants are proletariat ownership of the means of production and little government control.
