All socialists in their hearts are anarchists. It's just that you can't defend a society with no organised body of men representing the interest of the ruling class against a society with one

basically the only thing that can stop a bourgeoise with a state is a proletariat with a state

Ah, again the text that willingly conflates authority with self-defence.

on authority is only a counter to anyone who wants to abolish all forms of authority. If an anarchist believed in elected foremans for factories for example then on authority would not apply to what they believe

it's not really a counterargument against anarchism but against the stupidest subsection of anarchism imaginable
