It's so simple: the absence of cohesiveness in a world of polycentric ethical codes. The State is one law, one nation whereas in your ancap society, arbitrators have to resolve disputes between themselves. In the end, wealth and power will win. The notion of 'can it work' comes from a futile perspective because it's very difficult to define 'work' so instead Statists like myself will simply resort to a descriptive measure of how disputes are resolved in practice: a monopoly on law. It's the only way, even in your beloved free market justice, you ancaps have the audacity to speak about 'mainstream insurance policy', in other words, corporatocracy.
