You offered the Bolivian government as an example a of libertarian 
government. You were confused. Perhaps even dazed.

Is it? Weakling "A" thinks that the village water supply belongs to 
everybody in common. Strongman "B" thinks that the well should belong to 
him, and has the power to deny water to everybody else. There is no 
government to judge who is right and to force the outcome of their 
decision. Both are operating under the libertarian concept.

It is rule of the strongest, anarchy.
