You’re confusing libertarianism and anarchy.

  Practically similar. Bare minimum government is just one step above no government... aka anarchy. Be careful when interpreting vocabulary. Connotations and wording can serve to obfuscate concepts that are practically the same thing. Libertarianism and anarchy sound dramatically different, but logically the concepts are similar.

    Libertarianism can be a pretty big tent, lots of room for different opinions about what's minimal and what to keep or jettison. Sticking with the Peter Theil-ish variety, having enough government to preserve personal property rights is still a giant step apart from anarchy.
