Scifi books that depict extreme libertarian, minarchist, or anarchist societies?

Man, I read those books years ago as a kid.
I must have not understood them AT. ALL.
I liked them, though; I need to find 'em again.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!!
Well, if you haven't read it, the book is almost a parody of the christian faith. Christ turns out to be the bad guy and Satan the good guy. It was weird but still entertaining. Long time since I read that one.

Not SciFi, but I might also suggest some Sacket books by Louis L'Amour. I was mainly thinking of a series of 3 or 4 books about the original Barnabus Sacket who came to America from England. They were entertaining and somewhat anarchist/Libertarian in a different way.
MechAg94:
Path of the Fury - David Weber
Mother of Demons - Eric Flint
Tunnel in the Sky - Robert Heinlein
March Upcountry - David Weber
The Legacy of Heorot - Niven, Pournelle, Barnes
Rats, Bats, and Vats - Eric Flint (Not sure it fits your criteria, but I can recommend it enough. 2nd book even better)
Hard to find good SciFi that fit your categories. Most try to involve epic battles with large govts. 3 of the above are about high Tech people stuck in low tech worlds.
