False. Libertarianism isn't fascism or totalitarianism. It's about freedom.

Guess that's not my idea of freedom. Freedom to me is what I can actually do, not what the government won't stop me from doing.

Isn't that the good ol' BSD versus GPL discussion? Gun restriction versus gun liberty? The socialism versus libertarianism discussion? One's in favour of an enforceable mechanism (by law) which restricts the freedom of a person (or their behaviour) so that the freedom of all is ensured whereas the other one is some kind of "let the survival of the fittest" figure it out.
