Libertarian government is pretty much an oxymoron. Libertarianism applied in that sense is anarcho-capitalism, where everyone is free to do as they please and the only controlling force (i.e. the law) is the free market - no gov't at all. There are some people like David Friedman who have tried to make the case for how such a system could realistically work, but I'm still unconvinced (largely because the wealthy will have a monopoly on force).

I'm more a fan of his father, Milton, who was very pragmatic and not totally against gov't.

Extreme libertarianism is anarchy, but the vast majority of libertarians are not anarchists.

Do you mean "anarchy" in the sense of "chaos" or "absence of government"?
