I am sympathetic to the end goal of libertarianism but anyone who doesn't realize that libertarianism is self-defeating is legally braindead. You will not get a free society if corporations are allowed to silence ideas that offend power. Additionally, but unrelated to this particular post, you will not have a free people capable of self governing if they are addicted to fentanyl porn and sugary drinks. Basically if you want to be governed like a libertarian you have to have a disciplined and well ordered society which you don't get from libertarian policies.

This is a feature, not a bug. If you got it from policy, you would inherently break libertarianism's disfavor of governmental manipulation. You must instead get it from other sources, like culture, upbringing, philosophy, intelligence, etc.
I support the flavor that permits entire civilizations to try and fail this process, which will likely destroy them completely. But I reject large scale civilizations, so it wouldn't be so bad for a few towns to fail.
The logistic reality is basically impossible, though. It'd be insane to attempt anything like this without enormous preparation or some desperate cataclysm. Or something outlandish like Bioshock's Rapture.

Everything you said seems correct. However:
