I don't lean libertarian because I think I'm John Galt and want to "stop the motor of the world". I lean libertarian because I want to have access that motor at all.

I want to stand on the shoulders of giants, not ask giants for permission and I don't care at all if the system that allows for this is called "marxist", "capitalist" or any other "ist" you might dream up.

Aren't stood-upon shoulders of giants literally the reason why Atlas Shrugged.
