It's quite telling that this board constantly complains about jewish influence on the government but the second someone suggests dropping out they turn around and come up with all sorts of arguments to convince people that paying the tithe to the ZOG is actually a good thing.

that's a spook

Basically, Engels liked Stirner until Marx chimped out hard. Then Engels and Marx in Ideology threw in some hardcore anti Stirner chapters which as >>22382464 mentions didn't really work that well

Egoism, not even once.

How the fuck is this philosopher so irrelevant? The only places I've ever seen him mentioned are by the founder of the anthroposophical movement in Europe and here on /lit/.
Just what exactly is his philosophy about that nobody has read him yet people here go touting his name as the end of philosophy.
I'm not going to waste my time reading his book unless there's a good reason to.

Does he prove anything?

Mackay's biography describes him as a man who really didn't allow himself any real pleasures aside from fine cigar(ette)s

>Stirner must have had an extremely sensitive and unusually delicate nature. A rare personal remark he once made to a friend is characteristic: He related to that friend that his first wife had once uncovered herself unconsciously in sleep, and that it had been impossible for him from that moment on to touch her again. How he could have endured the loud, often raw circle at Hippel' s for so long is a riddle we must try to resolve later.

>From "Max Stirner - His Life and His Work" by Mackay

Haha, no fucking way. This is the unique one whom all of /lit/ admires? How is he to make things his property if the naked body of woman is good enough to break him?

>All things are nothing to me
What did he mean by this?

>Just spook my shit up

Why is a hack like Ayn Rand much more popular than based Stirner?
