I'm just trying to make sure that I don't make assumptions in your position, so please forgive my probing.

In a company there is generally no formalized structure to represent the opinion of the subjects in this case workers.

So, to be clear, when you allude to the idea of companies being dictatorial, you are only referring to the treatment of the workers employed by the company and not how consumers interact with companies?

I do not know what you mean when you say “libertarian philosophy”

I am specifically referring to the political science concept of "libertarianism" [Wikipedia has a good outline, or this Britannica defintion, etc.] — libertarianism's primary interest is in maximizing individual liberties, and strongly upholding individual rights.

all I have heard from individuals defending it only reflect over the liberty to opress, never the liberty from escaping that opression

Imo, this is due to a misappropriation of the term — I think I know what sorts of factions that you are referring to, and I would agree that they are not following what libertarianism advocates. Libertarianism does not advocate for the oppression of others; individual rights, and freedoms are held as paramount — the oppression of another is to infringe on their rights, and liberties. I personally simply refrain from using the term "libertarian" when talking about those sorts of people, as it only tarnishes the public's perception of what the philosophy actually advocates.
