Libertarianism basically says do your own thing, and government, no matter how constituted, is a bad thing. However, the only logical way this can occur and be sustained is if everyone agrees, i.e. everyone is a libertarian. Seems pretty contrary to me, i.e. a totalitarian outcome where the right to organize becomes illegal b/c it would lead to instability. I have no doubt this has been answered somewhere as it seems like an obvious inconsistency. If someone can point me to the rebuttal, I'd appreciate it.
Well this is where secession comes into place. Libertarians do not want to `overrun` governments. They want to be left alone. Which means if other people want to live in states, thats all fine and good. But leave people who want no part of democracy to live on their land and live in free societies.

In the US, there are people trying to achieve this (at least partially, for now that is):
