How exactly do so many Stirnerites espouse anti-capitalist views?

>"People" should act in accordance with their self interest
No, *I* should act in accordance with my self interest and not bother with societal morality.
>the capitalist exploitation of the working class is wrong
The capitalist exploitation of the working class is undesirable if me and my friends or family are members of the working class, and I should want to free myself (and them too, if it's in my interest) from it. It's "wrong" against me. Seriously, does Veeky Forums even understand egoism? Have you read stirner?
Lincoln Ramirez
The whole point of stirnerian egoism is that what's good and desired for oneself doesn't need to extend to other people / society, so calling them out for being hypocritical is just meaningless.
Mason Nguyen
I don't think you understand egoism desu. By the way, it would be in your best interest to become a capitalist and exploit people, not to abolish capitalism.
Hudson Hernandez
OP you're a spook so fuck off

>it would be in your best interest to become a capitalist and exploit people, not to abolish capitalism.
Maybe. I'm not the "stirnerian commie" OP is calling out, I'm just pointing out the inaccuracies in his pic. I'm just saying that being exploited by a capitalist is an absolute bad to one's self, and the capitalist's self interest isn't "okay" because of stirnerism, it's separate and opposed to the exploited worker's and he should remove that influence. Saying that it is definitely in his self interest to become a capitalist and exploit others is too much of an absolute, it may legitimately be in his self interest to help the poor.

A better society in which everyone recognises their own egoism is possible. Capitalism functions upon exploitation - using spooks to bamboozle people in being complicit in their own exploitation. As an egoist, it is in my self-interest for others to not be spooked up mongoloids.
