No, because "freedom" isn't the right goal in and of itself, justice is. How does "Free" software to help ICE, perform drone strikes, assist in ethnic cleansing, etc. make the world free, never mind just?https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/1172630847544950784 …
You did not understand libertarianism at all. It is always about “the right not to be punched” unless you are trying to punch someone yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle …

“Considered by some” and I’d argue not apparently practiced by many self-professed contemporary libertarians

Nowadays, everyone calls themselves a libertarian, because there is no strict definition of what it is. In the task of identifying a libertarian I personally recommend sticking to the definition of Rothbard, Nozick, Kinsella, and Hoppe.
