    food stamps

    Food stamps are not mutually exclusive with libertarianism on the whole. Libertarianism, very generally, can be described as encompassing the idea of maximising equal individual liberty, while ensuring that one cannot impart costs on another without their consent, or proper compensation for damages. Food stamps are more of a socialist view which puts it in the category of, what is commonly referred to as, “left-libertarianism”.

    anti-discrimination laws

    Correct, this would be incompatible with libertarianism – one has the right to choose with whom they associate, and what they say.

    anti-pollution laws

    This is incorrect. One cannot impart costs on another without their consent, or proper compensation for damages.

          courts? you mean a body of a government?

          can’t have that, also once the court has done it’s thing, who’s gonna enforce what the court said? because police is dirty socialism and part of the government.

            Libertarianism is not opposed to the justice system – in fact, it actually requires it – I point you to the model referred to as a Nightwatchman State. I would also remind you that Libertarianism is not equivelant to Anarchism.
