His political philosophy revolves around materialism as essentially the only significant force in the world so he considers all crises that aren't strictly materialistic as "bourgeoisie" aka petty, puffed-up, imaginary.

The significance of "bourgeois" as a term of derision is its implication that all material needs have been met and therefore all spiritual issues are simply made up for the sake of often conspicuous "faux self-actualization" AKA vanity.

"Bourgeoisie" is approximately the same as "Spook", you can only begin to refute it if you drag yourself into their world of reasoning, which is then already a concession of defeat. You simply cannot win. If you try to refute Stirner on his own terms you can't win, even if you speak with measured and cautious language, you will begin to carelessly use words like "unjust", or "virtuous", or "decency", and after uttering these words, with a thunderclap you arrive in bedlam where you can only make out Stirner's cackling though the chaos. The same is true for communism and the "new left". It is impossible to argue without slipping into either "bourgeois logic", or "mansplaining", you simply cannot win. This is why their ideologies are so sinister.

Like Marx, who desperately had to dismiss Stirner somehow, Lenin had his own issues.

OP here lmao I made that quote up on the spot to see if you autists would bother checking the veracity of it before deconstructing it.

>>8342209
This is an actual good answer but I researched and Lenin wasn't intellectually involved to the extent of criticising and assenting other philosophers. I was looking for this answer, thanks for putting into words what I was thinking but got tongue tied with

>>8342321
You can apply that group to literally any group of political or philosophical ideologues, with right and left or egoism and antiegoism scaled equally. It just happens sometimes there happens to be more of one demographic than another

Like all Marxists, they think everything is mechanical base material, and therefore can comprehend anything transcendent, emotional, or numinous.

Marxism is literally autism par excellence.
