Libertarian thought does start with John Locke in the seventeenth century but it has evolved and still is evolving. Only you would have problems with people who base their political philosophy on the non-aggression principle. Still given how the peaceful the left have shown themselves to be this is to be expected.
The Non-Aggression Principle can simply be dismissed as naive nonsense, it's basically throwing up ones hands and going "why can't we all be nice to each other and sing kumbaya and everyone will be happy???", it's the domestic equivalent of naive pacifists carrying cute signs like "what if they ordered a war and nobody came?".
The non-aggression principle does allow for self-defense since it is the initiation of force that is disallowed. As usual you have failed to do even the most basic research.

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action. -- Ludwig von Mises
