Piggybacking off of this
Race is real in the sense that people have ancestry and they can be (arbitrarily) dividing into groups based on that fact. Racism or racial supremacy is a spook even though it's based on a fact because it's also based on the idea of superiority, which is itself a spook. The idea that humans have some "value" other than their descriptive characteristics is itself a spook, so the idea that some people have greater value than others is a spook by extension.
this is what triggered Marx right? That Feuerbach and him were basically still humanists, even though they had a materialist understanding of religion.
It's important to note that "spirits" is metaphorical here. Literal spirits are not spooks, just false beliefs in the same way that believing in unicorns is a false belief.
Gonna trigga some niggas by posting this, but basically yes - it was that Stirner was more materialist than Marx.

Idk about that. Stirner seems like an idealist to me. I've only read secondary sources on him, but basically from what I've read, he was more of a Hegelian than Marx and Feuerbach were.
His position is that you are the only real person to you (basically solipsism) and that as far as you're concerned everyone else is no different from animals or unliving matter but for sophistication. That doesn't preclude co-operation or love for your fellow man, just that those things have to pass through the filter of your own self-interest. Working with others helps you achieve what you want and helping others makes you feel good, because even though you cannot know their mind, you can reasonably suppose that it has an experience and supposing that another suffers brings you pain while supposing that they are happy brings you happiness. If it's idealism, it's very indirect idealism and recognizes that such ideals are really just a part of your perception.
Whoops, forgot the last line.
This is what is meant when people meme that you are their property. Because people are external to their minds, they are part of the material landscape and property like anything else.

I was going to be a smartarse and say "So race is one of the few things about people that isn't a spook?" but then someone pointed out Holla Forumss pedestal placement of it made it a spook.
Bit how the hell is the concept of a soul not a spook? It's immaterial and a highly treasured thought.
And what's with the 'my property' meme attached to Stirner?
