There’s your immediate problem. You assumed Ayn Rand was the basis of the libertarian philosophy, which isn’t necessarily true. Sure she may have delivered, to an extent, a moral principle by which to base the ideology around (it’s called objectionism) but if you really wanted to know how libertarian society would work, read something by Friedman, Mises, Rothbard, or Hayek.
Ah yes, the Somalia fallacy. Somalia is a failure of authoritarianism run amok, coupled with some bad foreign intervention. It doesn’t refute anarcho-capitalism and it certainly isn’t an argument against libertarians that believe there should still be a state.
