Ignore the little fellow. He thinks he's the next Dante, Chesterton or Lewis, but no one is looking for more of that crap.

he absolutely would
no doubt in my mind
just look at him in this picture, he's already smoking
he would show up at the nu die freinen meetings just to blow fat clouds in marx's face

Look at Stirner, look at him, the peaceful enemy of all constraint.
For the moment, he is still drinking beer,
Soon he will be drinking blood as though it were water.
When others cry savagely "down with the kings"
Stirner immediately supplements "down with the laws also."
Stirner full of dignity proclaims;
You bend your willpower and you dare to call yourselves free.
You become accustomed to slavery
Down with dogmatism, down with law.

A bit like this.

>read a bit of Max Stirner's biography whilst taking a shit

That's about it. And I tried to make you fuckers help me with getting educated on the Cyrenaics but nobody is able or willing.

CHILL AS FUCK

Is stirnism a practical philosophy?

What would humanity be like if everyone was a stirnite? Could that be even possible?

Marx was a left Hegelian beatnik who got the idealism beat out of him by Stirner and than went materialist but still sort of a hegelfag

Those atrocities are a result of belief, of idealism, of something higher than oneself that should be served. In that sense Stirnerism is the greatest safeguard aginst such large scale atrocities, since any actual ideology can always be transformed into a demagogic device.

I would only do so if I were to become wealthy to the point of not having to work anymore without having to put a lot of effort in it. The latter is the most important. I would murder hundreds of people to live comfortably, start wars, genocides, hide the cure to cancer, anything, but I wouldn't work for it. I despise careerism and working in general.

The chance of me getting rich are obviously very slim. So I figured, might as well have a shitty little job and at least give the socialists my vote to tear down the system and make my proletarian life a bit more worthwhile.

Please take notice that egoist anarchism is something that was greatly inspired by Stirner, but that Stirner himself never identified as an anarchist. It's a lable fitting for a lot of his later disciples but not himself.

It's originally part of a larger sketch by Friedrich Engels, portraying one of the meetings their circle "Die Freien" had in those days. The wiki on Stirner will tell you more.

Sure, but on the condition that it shall only last as long as both individuals want so that none may be enslaved to fictional ties and naive ideals.

"That guy" here, and thanks for recognizing. I'm very interested in which ways you think he didn't follow through.

Also, I myself don't think Stirner is the be all and end all of philosophy, but I find him strangely, almost suspiciously ignored in most discussions (not just on this board, everywhere) so I try to summon him where appropriate.

I do agree with you on the lousy writing though, in the sense that he repeats himself a lot. But I can't help but think it's party a parody of the philosophical climate of his time. When he is at his best however, he is glorious.
