"metaphysics doesn't real so do what you like fam"
t. stirner

the problem is that i'm too stupid to understand most of it

Just read Marx, his work is the logical conclusion of Stirner's ideas.

Read Stirner's critics and you'll have a better understanding of what he meant.

...

You realize Stirner wrote Stirner's Critics, right?

Stirner often referred to himself as a communist. What do you think union of egos is?

Wrong

"Abolishing competition is not equivalent to favoring the guild. The difference is this: In the guild baking, etc., is the affair of the guild-brothers; in competition, the affair of chance competitors; in the union, of those who require baked goods, and therefore my affair, yours, the affair of neither the guildic nor the concessionary baker, but the affair of the united."

...

But do you even know what it is that you want?

What I want > Knowledge of whatever

I know what I want, in.a sense that my will creates my knowledge being knowledge my property
From there to recognizing that Stirner is not about politics and to wanting to gas the kikes the step is short

This is not political somehow?
sounds pretty spooky.

As political as killing someone who make an offense towards you

If a kike offends you, if that offense leads you into warring, instead of you leading the offense, then you are as yet spooked, yes.

If you want to understand why Stirner is wrong read Heidegger.

This board used to have Heideggerian tripfag called professor Heidegger who completely BTFO the stirnerites.

Heidegger is spooked as fuck

Since I've started reading him every Holla Forums approved philosopher looks like stefan molyneux in comparison.

Saying Stirner is wrong is not understanding Stirner at all. Its the full denial of understandting the context wich Stirner wrote under.

do you happen to have a pdf/epub?

He's a meme. Don't take him seriously.

I thought I saved that "mech pilot" copypasta that explained Stirner's philosophy using giant space robots as the metaphor instead of ghosts, but I didn't. I guess I'll try to do a partial, shitty reproduction of it on my own, but if anyone else has the actual screencap of the thread, please post it.

The knockoff TL;DR version:

Imagine you're piloting a giant mech suit for the giant space empire. In this analogy, your mind is the pilot, and the robot is your body. If the pilot goes and and flies the robot for the space empire, he's just imposing the will of the space empire on others. It's like the pilot isn't even flying the mech, the space empire is flying the mech by proxy, through the use of the pilot. Even if you aren't following direct orders from the space empire, you're still using the training and ideology and conditioning the space empire has imposed on you, and on some level it's still not you flying the mech. In this analogy, the space empire (a spook) is controlling the mech (your body) and its actions because it controls the pilot (your mind).

There's a lot more to it than that, like the creative nothing, and I may have completely butchered this explanation on accident, but spooks are the most meme-worthy of Stirner's concepts and that's the best explanation for them I've seen, and other people in the thread seemed to think so, too.

Anyway, from what little I understand of it, the conclusion isn't supposed to be "all ideology is a spook, never listen to anyone" it's more like "look into yourself to find the real you beneath the conditioning of the space government, then do what you want to do because the real you wants to do it, not because space government says its the right thing to do" But again, I might be completely off-base, so take this with a grain of salt.

...

...

Eh, I feel like this analogy is imperfect. Stirner was pretty explicit about how sometimes purposely denying bodily pleasures has negative outcomes. Also, I don't think Stirner believed in a "real you". The creative nothing kind of flies in the face of that notion. Overall, I'd just recommend reading the book and forming your "own" opinion.

Does anyone take Stirner seriously? Or is he a meme?

Spooky stuff

Sophists, sophists everywhere…

They're not making any arguments, because to make an argument you need to be an ancap because otherwise you don't own your arguments as property so they aren't your arguments to begin, just pixels on a screen or soundwaves in the air.


Why? Because your mother is a dirty cuntinental.

Well,for Marx one should start with Socialism: Utopian and Scientific,marxists.org has a great list on how to read Marx's works.

You should(don't have to but it's good) to read the following:
Stoics,Epicureans,Aristotle,Hobbes,Rousseau,French(materialists) and British Enlightenment,Hegel and Young Hegelians.


For Stirner,you simply need Der Einzige and Stirner's critics.

Written by Engels.

He's both, which is what makes him so great

The Ego and Its Own is the best self help book ever written

The "how to become a billionaire" self-help book written by the continually broke guy is even better.

here's all you need

He's a meme, but taken seriously over time as people memed him too long 'ironically'. Kind of like how /new/ (then Holla Forums) went from ironic fascism because it had schock value in humor only to find itself surrounded by actual fascists from Stormfront.

nice try Holla Forumsyp

and now the real egoists swoop in and win the meme war
