The libertarians are for strictly limiting the powers of the government(as were our founders), you might want to re-think that leading to authoritarianism line.

It's the neocons and progressives who want an all powerful "democracy", or as our founders phrased it "a tyranny of the majority"

If you want to see libertarianism taken to its logical conclusion take a look at Somalia or much of sub-Saharan Africa.

Ideologically pure libertarianism leads to tribes and warlords.
