Even if I'm starting to like the Libertarianism concepts and understand the importance of the full sovereignty of people, I'm still doubtful on if a society like this would even work; if it's just utopia or ome degree of centralization/delegation to the public State is needed at the end.

If it resembles other radically ideological mass movements then it probably ends with the most opportunistic and violent elements coopting it into something even more tyrannical than the old state but with new rationalizations, as those tend to be the most politically involved and influential.

You know how you can tell who the bad guys are? They'll offer you free healthcare. The guy who says fuck off and pay for it yourself, he's the person who will leave you alone and isn't trying to use you as cannon fodder.

Well it's not a matter of free Healthcare per se. Someone is paying for it (the people, in general), you pay for it somehow (not your own directly) or you pay for it later.

And even if sounds inconvenient (why should I have my profit cut for a service I do not need) it's more like "one day I may need it and can't afford it" and that day ma be even day0, when you have not even started to "provide" for society

Yes, that service is called insurance and is the oldest of financial market products. We certainly don't need a state regulating/enforcing/meddling in that

I see.
It's hard for me to imagine it working properly and for people in need, but maybe it is a matter of perspectives: maybe with a society organized in this way, there are opportunities and instruments that allow Healthcare and such to emerge spontaneously

yup. That's how it starts...

There's an old joke in my crowd: What's the difference between a minarchist (= small government) and an anarchist (= no government)?
Six months.

So yeah, just learn more and perhaps you'd change your mind.
