Anarchy would never work because like everyone on this thread has said people will always end up organizing.

The smaller a government starts, the larger it will become in the end. Freedom creates wealth and wealth attracts thieves; During America's pioneer days, the state was single digit taxes, maybe a sheriff in a town breaking up the occasional fight, and this worked really well and society got rich. Today, that tiny government is now the world's biggest government empire. So the solution is not to plant the seed violence of the government in the first place. There is no right amount of stealing and violence that will make the world a better place.

And who would ensure that there was no such initiation?
Well, it can pretty easily be solved by giving financial incentive to not initiate violence. The free market is more than capable of doing that through DRO courts and insurance agencies to literal defence in security agencies.

How do you know that? Do you have a galaxy spanning intellect were you can just predict the future and not provide any reason or evidence?
A few thousand years ago, it was the 'norm' to dash your child's head across the rock to appease the volcano god. Or to execute someone publicly for annoying a monarch. How do you know that democratic government is not just another violent phase in human development when we have become so progressively less violent as a species so far?
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
