The keystone of libertarianism has got to be the rights of the individual. If a coal magnate sets up a company town and requires the workers to live on site and use company services (and let's not forget that the services were tuned to use up the entire salary and maybe a smidge more) that is enslavement - a removal of the most basic individual rights. "Corporate" libertarianism (as summed up in your comment "it's his company" sounds like feudalism to me. And a feudal state has no balancing force within it to prevent the appearance of dungeons and armed tax collectors.
