"Limited government" is the phrase the right-wingers themselves use, in order to distinguish themselves from anarchists, who believe in "no government". A more honest phrase that some right wingers use is "small government". (Even "small government" is often used dishonestly, by "conservatives" who seek reduced taxes and business regulation, but want prohibitions on abortions, on drugs, on gay marriage, and on any other basically private behaviour of which they disapprove.) This can be distinguished from the centre to centre-left "medium government" and "big government"  positions and the extreme left "totalitarian government" position which you refer to.
