What is a libertarian society?

From "The Invisible Hand Is a Gentle Hand" By Sharon Harris:

• To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-ridden, regulated, penned up, indoctrinated, preached at, checked, appraised, seized, censured, commanded, by beings who have neither title, nor knowledge, nor virtue. To be governed is to have every operation, every transaction, every movement noted, registered, counted, rated, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, refused, authorized, endorsed, admonished, prevented, reformed, redressed, corrected.

Is this what the Republicans and Democrats try to tell us we should accept as "freedom"?
