"Have you philosophers really no clue that you have been beaten with your own weapons? Only one clue. What can your common sense reply when I dissolve dialectically what you have merely posited dialectically? You have showed me with what kind of 'volubility' one can turn everything to nothing and nothing to everything, black into white and white into black. What do you have against me, when I return to you your pure art?"
— Max Stirner



Max Stirner (real name: Johann Casper Schmidt) was a German philosopher.

Bio[edit | edit source]

A student of Schleiermacher and Hegel, Stirner is deemed one of the most influential figures when it comes to the subject of individual anarchism. His support for egoism essentially boils down to the notion that that there are free and unfree egoists, with the former simply doing whatever they like to do, while the latter try to justify their selfish desires with make-believe morals, duties, obligations, and so forth.

Stirner is commonly known for his opposition to "spooks", that is, abstract entities such as 'society', 'state', 'laws', and other things which only exist so long as humans do believe in them. To him, might makes right, and concepts such as 'private property' vanish in a puff of logic as soon as someone powerful enough decides that your private property actually was his private property to begin with.

His anti-authoritarian views made Stirner a meme on /leftypol/, but although Friedrich Engel deemed him a good friend, Karl Marx had nothing nice to say about Stirner. When he was not busy getting smashed in a Berlin wine bar, he also worked as a teacher at a girl's school (one must wonder why his second wife left him) and translated works from English and French authors; notably including Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Max Stirner debuted in 8chanmania XXXVI, where he promptly lost to the ancient Dunmer wizard Divayth Fyr.

He gave it a second go in 8chanmania LXXXIX, only to suffer violently intrusive tentacle rape at the hands of Nemesis.
