"Remember, we're talking about a population that believes in freedom and order."
That's a huge assumption. You have a lot more faith in the human race then me. I'm convinced my nieghbor would kill me for shiny pebbles if he thought he'd get away with it.
"Warlords are organized criminals. In a state-dominated system, organized criminals generate cashflow (power) by filling needs that the government stops the market from filling (e.g. drugs, prostitution, gambling). In a stateless system, these can be provided by the market. There's no need for organized crime to provide them. "
Who needs drugs, prostituion, or gambling. With no police, why not simply rob people outright?
"Once the self-appointed warlord has alienated his customers, how will he maintain his power?"
What customers? You don't need customers when you have victims.
