Libertarianism is the party supporting rule by the biggest corporation. Any rhetoric is wholly incidental, and purely a distraction, because it has no effect on policy: under libertarian government, you have rights to the exact extent that you can enforce them against Apple and Exxon by the strength of your own arm.
Europeans have "Democratic Libertarianism" which is almost, but not quite, wholly unlike the American libertarianism I refer to. All American libertarians will echo you, but never have any way to avoid the described outcome.

Good luck.
There are a variety of libertarians, and you misunderstand all of them if you think the above is true.
