Statist and RWLPTBA - Anarcho-Peoplewhoopposeus

Description

Now taking a break from Delta"It's not bigotry when I do it"inHighDefinition and switching my focus for once.

This time it's on a user on Deviantart called BlameThe1st who is self proclaimed Right-Libertarian who made a comic series called "Statist vs Anarchist" which are about as Anarchist as you'd expect from a Right Wing Libertarian. Here is the original unedited piece from his series( 
http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-Anarcho-Syndicalism-560066529 ) , a bullshit attempt to straw man and dismiss actual Anarchists on the basis that one of them (Chomsky) just happened to think we shouldn't put our ideals above the lives of people who need some sort of welfare in order to survive.

Oh and Blamethe1st, how about you actually;

A) Read Anarchist Literature that isn't AnCap bullshit. (Maybe Proudhon, Bakunin and Kropotkin should be a start. Or go up on Libcom.org)

B) Understand the arguments Chomsky was making in support of Welfare and Social Democratic Policies in the present (Not "Fixing the Roads" as you put it.).

C) Make an argument about Anarcho-Syndicalists that's based on their core ideals and NOT just what one of them said (You do realise that not all Anarchists, especially Anarcho-Syndicalists make Chomsky's argument right?)

UPDATE: Apparently BlametheFirst did make some sort of 
response to this. Granted it was just a emoticon that basically gives off the message "I not actually gonna bother refuting it so I'll just laugh at it"  But I'm glad the creator saw this.
Also for the other user who was saying that defending the Welfare State is "just an excuse", we don't have a huge federation of Mutual Aid Societies that can act as a viable alternative to the State Welfare System yet, and they certainly aren't gonna just crop up  overnight once the State is gone. They still need to be set up and in the meantime people still need some sort of welfare to survive on. The point of the comic was that until we're in a position where people aren't in need of State Welfare and Friendly Societies are the better alternative, it's ridiculous to be callous about this and just say; "there should be no state so we shouldn't support any welfare state whatsoever either". Real life demands we look at what's really happening, not just ignore it because it contradicts our opposition to the State.
