Libertarianism these days means freedom from taxes, regulations and the law for the rich and powerful, and freedom for fascists, racists and bigots to vent their hate on minorities. Libertarianism is kleptocratic greed allied with fascist hate. Libertarianism is kleptofascism.
The goal of these kleptofascists, who call themselves 'libertarians' is without doubt to destroy democracy and replace it with the rule of the 'Sovereign Individual' as outlined by William Rees-Mogg. It's the rule of the super-rich oligarchs and their paid political minions. 
The 1960s unleashed a wave of liberation movements. Libertarianism is a peverse offshoot of those movements, a liberation movement for the rich and powerful, and the fascists, racists and bigots who wail about being the oppressed victims of liberal democracy.
Kleptofascism is an alliance of convience. The oligarchs don't have any special interest in abusing minorities. For them, all non-rich folk are just tools to be abused, as are the nation states so beloved of the nationalist right. But both groups hate liberal democracy.
