Personally, I question libertarianism's sincerity in supporting a limited or minimal state, or no state at all, when the objective/goal is not in fact to get rid of, or 'shrink' the state; they simply seek to replace the state with private for-profit corporations.
Well, since corporations are creations of the State, and cannot exist without a State, my sincerity in completely abolishing the State is unwavering.
lmao! The wikipedia article says the exact opposite.

"Unable to succeed at home, Koch found work in the Soviet Union".[13] Between 1929 and 1932 Winkler-Koch "trained Bolshevik engineers[14] and helped Stalin's regime set up fifteen modern oil refineries" in the Soviet Union. "Over time, however, Stalin brutally purged several of Koch's Soviet colleagues. Koch was deeply affected by the experience, and regretted his collaboration."[13] The company also built installations in countries throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia.[1] Koch partnered with William Rhodes Davis to build the third-largest oil refinery serving the Third Reich, a project which was personally approved by Adolf Hitler"
I have a crazy relative who is a Libertanian. For work, he sold on ebay while his wife raked in the money from a great job. Just had a baby. Wife lost job. Now they're on Obamacare. Wonder if he still believes this cold hearted Libertarian nonsense now.
Libertarianism isn't cold-hearted. The non-aggression principle and property rights come from a place of respecting and protecting EVERY individual, even if the majority outnumbers them and wants to harm them or take their belongings. People in large groups can be irrational, and it's easy to whip up resentment for a minority to justify overruling their rights for the benefit of the majority.
You could argue that it's dispassionate, meaning it's an attempt to remove subjective personal feelings from the discussion and go with what's true, correct, rational, etc...but that doesn't equal heartless, at all.
And of course, knowing a libertarian who didn't stick to their principles doesn't invalidate libertarianism. You know that.
Well, since corporations are creations of the State, and cannot exist without a State, my sincerity in completely abolishing the State is unwavering.

The state actually regulates big business
the people through democracy regulate the state
So if you get rid of the people's ability to regulate the state or get rid of the state's ability to regulate the corporations the corporations are in charge defacto
Through groups like The American legislative exchange Council big corporations bribe the State and thus are no longer regulated by them

The state isn't on your side, first of all, and people don't regulate it in any meaningful way. That's naive.
Second of all, a company isn't "in charge" if they can't initiate force against anyone.

The State regulates businesses, which is why capitalism cannot exist within the confines of a State.
Democracy is mob rule, and the State doesn't accept regulations on itself.
Corporations are State creations, and as such cannot exist if no State exists.
