Libertarians, at their core, desire a socialist government run by them.
They want to be able to tell [convince by intimidation/rule] others that they are free to satisfy their desire, only within [their] limits.

Not true. As a libertarian I’m a deep believer in the constitution. But I also believe in people’s rights to behavior that doesn’t injure other people. I do see totalitarian instincts, but they’re as often on the right as they are on the left. There seem to be some who have such a need to only look at the world and see themselves in a mirror that they must impose their looks on the world. Ugly as those looks can sometimes be.
