Could his philosophy see a resurgence?

No point, the part of his point is people follow it anyway unconsciously, they're just in denial (because spooks).
Your typical American is as egoist as it gets- even the "religious" ones just pick whichever passages they want out of a holy book to feel better whenever doubts set in.
And he's pretty much right on the money if you have a materialist outlook.
I think a much more pressing question is how do we change that. How do we get out of this nightmare?
Brody Allen
nope here's why
Liam Adams
I think Zizek's comments might have been relevant 30 years ago, but millenials are very good egotists. Their working, spending and lifestyle habits reflect a loyalty to the self and to pleasure over the loyalty to capitalism that Zizek describes.
Ethan Gray
I just got into him. I would say the first step is acceptance.
Benjamin Flores
Yes
Charles Phillips
I am more of a right winger, and am not socialist in any way but deeply connect to his work. What do you think of that?
Ryan Cruz
I think that's a cowardly approach. yeah yeah spooks, whatever, I don't like it. I want out. I want to drag everyone else out of it with me.
Andrew Hill
Stirner is a left leaning philosopher, he even influenced marx in some way.
Sebastian Kelly
>Spooks can own something
user pls.
Oliver Ortiz
He's actually the one who got Marx to abandon any pretense of morality.
Marxism without Stirner's influence likely wouldn't have produced something like Bolshevism, it would end up attracting philanthropists and pseudo-Christian do-gooders.
Aaron Martinez
Stop posting that retarded fucking quote as if it means he's communist.
Here, have some more quotes.
Ethan Harris
>Not including the one where he said he is not against socialism but scared socialism

I raise you. He was by no means a communist, but any right wingers liking him is mere lip service and virtue signalling
Aaron Rivera
Good catch, I should reread the Ego and Its Own, probably have skipped/forgotten a lot of stuff. I thank you for enlightening me.
Jeremiah Wood
wrong, he was a radical individualist and would probably be called a "fascist" by the left if they bothered to read him. Marx wrote more pages of non-arguments and autism to discredit Stirner than all of Stirners works combined. Hilarious.
Bentley Sanders
>fascist" by the left if they bothered to read him
His works were influential in anarchism though
Luke Gutierrez
nah
Jayden Butler
I agree, there must be something more.
Daniel Price

Tyler Ross
Probably not. He was a third rate thinker. What will probably happen is a resurgence of Neo-Platonism.
Julian Baker
Why are self-proclaimed "right" people always hysterical?
Evan Reed
But Stirner isn't a rational egoist. He thinks egoism is rational, but rejects rationalism.
Adrian Garcia
He already has, indirectly. You can see many of his ideas echoed in the existentialists and post-structuralists of the 20th century.
Hunter Perry
You know just enough to make yourself look like an idiot. Marx never published his criticism of Stirner and changed the basis of his thinking shortly after. Engels spoked highly favourably of Stirner, and considered an egoistic basis to their communism entirely necessary.
Bentley Davis
In a sense his ideas of self-interest are used by some folk without them realising it
