In my experience, libertarians claim to base their world view on a sophisticated understanding of emergent social phenomenon, specifically through markets. Yet they treat the emergence of politics in human societies as some kind of aberration or pathology that they want to make go away, despite politics' pervasiveness in the human experience.

I don't see how they can reconcile the two ideas. Every society we know of with agriculture and metallurgy not only produces a market, but also a state with a warrior ruling class (and an organized religion, for that matter). In Hayekian language, politics, like the market, arises from human action but not through human design.
