I would say that our knowledge of our government's fiscal authority does not make us "authoritarians" of the form Orwell is positing here.
There is a difference between a person who can perceive and understand authority vs. a person who is a modern "authoritarian" in Orwell's context here.
I will not pretend to understand what is going on within the scrambled-eggs-for-brains libertarian side of humanity.

Matthew Stewart's new book "Nature's God" should be required reading for all Libertarians. It reveals the precise "balancing of claims" basis for the American Revolutionary Government and it's hard core Deist (Nature's Rule) founders. This book should be read in conjunction with Daniell Allen's book "Our Declaration" also published in 2014.

Scho,
But perhaps from their pov, its hard to defend the results of an out of control institutionalized Christendumb also... in many ways also pagan and opposed to sound teaching...
And also during that time we (mankind) were still under the "noble" metals which is like fighting with AT LEAST one hand tied behind your back...
rsp,
