I don't understand how you conflate 'anarchy' and 'libertarian' in principle.
A popular meaning of anarchy is "chaos".This is fair enough when applied to large complex societies where government has broken down. A vivid example is China at the end of the 19th and early C20th.
However,the word means lack of govern-ment,not lack of govern-ance. It seems anarchy may have been the first form of social organisation.It works very well in societies arranged in small groups,without a complex system of the specialisation of labour. The oldest extant culture on earth,that of the Australian aborigine is anarchic.
The purpose anarchy is survival of and maximum benefit to the group as a whole,not the individual. In such societies ,any individual who threatens the group is expelled. This can take the form of infanticide, abandonment of the elderly and witch hunts.
Do we perhaps have different understandings of the terms 'anarchy' and 'Libertarian' ?
