I really like the idea of debunking spooks but a whole philosophy dedicated to self interest- thats not my thing at all. I mean the world would be a shitty place if we werent benevolent and stuff. I like doing selfless stuff sometimes. It's obvious from reading the Wikipedia article that sterno was Pro capitalist, how do you guys on the left deal with that?

Stirner realized that his spook for debunking spooks was a spook itself. Mankind would be better off without spooks, but yet spooks are essential to our fundamental being.

Just read the book, kid.
He's about as "pro capitalist" as anyone living in this world. Yeah, he tried to start a business, so what? He was also hounded for the rest of his life by debt collectors and died in impoverished filth. The perfectly valid truth of his philosophy can be applied to capitalism.

No The "ego" isn't a spook. That's not what the German word means. Unless you're some kind of solipsist.

Only you save your life from misery. Read Epicurus for this. Stirner is cold hard reality, and the religious fucks, or some other thoroughly spooked people deride the man.

Spooks are just mental constructs we allow to run our lives. "God", "society", "culture", etc. The trap of sacredness.
