Libertarians are fine with voluntary collectives, many libertarians are collectivists, aka left libertarians like Noam Chomsky. Being libertarian doesn't mean being fiscally conservative and socially liberal, it can also mean being fiscally liberal and socially conservative, or both fiscally conservative and socially conservative or liberal. Libertarians are anti-authoritarian, they want everything to be voluntary, i.e. live and let live. You can be a total liberal or conservative and as long as you don't want your views forced onto anyone else, i.e. not made law, you're libertarian.
The way presidential campaigns are funded for example, by voluntarily checking a box on your tax form is perfectly libertarian.
