That's not true, HBB
Libertarian wouldn't work as the antithesis of authoritarianism because there is still a social contract, and you can still have libertarian societies with states and without states.
The liberal/conservative axis denotes a spectrum from total material collectivism to an absolutely unrestrained free market, not two different types of "states". The X axis is independent of the role of government. The Y axis is the strength/role of government.
Bottom of the Y axis represents total absence of a state or social contract of any kind.
