Morphology
libertopian + society
Although 'libertopian' is rare or not listed, it is morphologically analyzable as an adjective referring to libertarian/utopian ideas, and combined with 'society' (community) yields a straightforward compositional meaning: a society organized around libertopian principles. The adjective+noun pattern is a standard, predictable construction, so a learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Libertopian society blends liberty and utopia — imagine a picture of a perfect town where people decide for themselves, trade freely, and there is almost no government. That's why the phrase means 'an imagined society organized around individual freedom, very little government, and free markets'.
