Depends how far you take it but sure, the purest form of libertarianism is anarchy, just like the purest form of totalitarianism is despotism.
What I was trying to get across was that I support some tenets of libertarianism, I don't believe that the government should set up laws to protect you from yourself (i.e. helmet laws), or encroach on any of your rights that do not impinge on the rights of others (i.e. gay marriage) but I do believe that some semblance of central control and redistribution of wealth (welfare, public schooling, however you want to do it but it needs to be there) is necessary to maintain a reasonable society, which makes me a moderate libertarian or a bad libertarian depending on who you talk to.
