No government for the most part is called anarchy, which I think Libertarians embrace.

Their second thing is the embrace of subculture behavior in their treating vice on an equal basis with acceptable behavior.

I think of the movie "Escape From New York" as an example of the perfect Libertarian society.

Almost right. Think of it as anarchy=self government in the absence of organized government, and you have the ultimate philosophical goal of libertarians. We are adults. We act like adults. We treat others like adults. Formal governments are for those who need an authority figure to punish them and tell them when they stray off their moral compass.

Libertarians don't need that.

You are awfully ignorant of things like "social pressure" and being an outcast aren't you? If you don't want a drugged up customer stinking up your store, kick them out. If you don't want to be kicked out of stores, don't be FUBAR when you head out your front door. Easy-peasy.

And no, your Snake Pliskin example is ludicrous. Nor is it in any way accurate. Don't be stupid.
