I've seen quite a few libertarians that would argue for private enforcement of property rights, thereby abolishing the need for a government altogether.
So if I pay a bunch of guys to enforce "my property rights" over their house, then it is my house right? So now I'll force them to pay rent for it or my private thugs will evict them from "my home".
Is that what they want? That is how society worked before we had modern governments. The only way to prevent this is to have a government who tells me I can't just bring a bunch of thugs and take stuff from people.
Undoubtedly, but those aren't real libertarians. They're anarchists.
Libertarianism is a free market economy, with the government serving as enforcer of property rights and contracts. The government also enforces individual rights.
Such as the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Yes, there always tends to be a large number of hypocrites in the world, see any socialist or communist of modern times who are all talk but take on none of the risks by living their ideals.
