so let's go back to Boaz:
"Governments should exist to protect rights, to protect us from others who might use force against us. When governments use force against people who have not violated the rights of others, then governments themselves become rights violators. "
Minarchists and libertarians in general recognize this, though they may still harbor the mistaken belief that gvmt exists by consent. I don't see it as a problem or an inconsistency. They get there eventually. As I said, it's often a waypoint. I don't see any real disagreement here.
