Properly understood, there is no difference at all between the two. The word 'minarchism' was a product of the Cold War, and the old tension between the need to "accept for the duration" of the conflict the Rooseveltian war machine in order to realize the anti-Communist dreams of some on the Right. It is, essentially, a false and arbitrary line drawn in order to make libertarianism look more appealing to stolid middle-class conservatives who would run away in terror from anything approaching an honest discussion of the subject.
