My brand of Libertarianism

Freelance investors who work for themselves are professionals who deserve respect. Some people think it undignified because they instinctively apply to it the morals they've been conditioned with- ones that generally aren't followed by the esoteric international elite who preach them.
The energy input of the planet can be financially quantified because it is processed and used at a relatively constant rate. This is finite power that comes from outside any one man- from the sun- far away from humanity. Who deserves to have this power, and how much? Who gets to decide this? There are no global universal laws that everyone can agree on, so on this level moral and ethical considerations become irrelevant. Does this mean it's nihilistic? Not necessarily, since it is firmly tied to the premise that the world's energy is both sacred and finite. Similar to farmers living off their own food, an anarchist shouldn't feel immoral for tapping the well of the global military-industrial complex. We are modern, transnational farmers.
Less constrained by national and economic boundaries, anarcho-capitalism and libertarianism are much more egalitarian, assuming there's enough people who want equality and freedom, who are willing to fight for it without resorting to any narrowminded group or organization. It aspires to the belief that one should be free to determine himself what he does with his time, who he works for or with, and the nature of the state under which he lives.
That said, am I an immoral man? Yes, but not because I'm a Libertarian.
