'''Anarcho-Egoism''', or '''Egoist Anarchism''', often shortened as simply '''Egoism''', is an off-the-compass libertarian unity ideology or anarchist school of thought that arose out of the philosophy of Max Stirner, a 19th-century philosopher. It emphasizes the individual over any other kind of guiding principle; that is, the individual should live themselves out, not bound to any political calling. It proposes that most commonly accepted social institutions—including the notion of State, property as a right, natural rights in general and the very notion of society—were mere "spooks" or "phantasms" in the mind. Stirner's philosophy though being individualist, has influenced some libertarian communists and anarcho-communists. Forms of libertarian communism such as insurrectionary anarchism are influenced by Stirner.

===Stirner's egoist philosophy===
Egoism is a philosophy and political ideology developed by ''Max Stirner'' in 1844. Outlined in his book ''"Der Einzige und Sein Eigentum"'' (Translated as ''"Ego and It's Own"'' or more accurately as ''"The Unique and It's Property"'') Stirner critiques institutions within society such as Christianity, Nationalism, Morality, Humanism, Socialism, Liberalism, and even society itself through a heavily individualist lens. He comes to call these ideas phantasms, or as they are more commonly known, spooks. This name comes from Stirner to describe the actions of these institutions as similar to that of ghosts. They are immaterial, but can still have an affect on, or even possess the individual.
Hegel was a large influence for Stirner as he was a member of the [[w:Young Hegelians|Young Hegelians]], a group of thinkers who followed and analyzed Hegel's teachings. Stirner would grow to resent many members of this group, and even antagonize or satirize them in his book. Stirner built off of the [[w:Dialectic#Hegelian dialectic|Hegelian Dialectic]] to form these criticisms, and even to criticize the idea of the Hegelian Dialectic. He sought to bring to the individual's attention that many institutions and ideas are of our own creation and entirely dependent on our perception of them. Stirner likens these institutions to the property of the individual, in that the individual is the one who has the real power over them. The ideas of the State, Religion, Family, etc. are all the property of the individual, and as such the individual may do as they please with these institutions. He argues the individual should strive to use their control over these institutions in order to demolish them in the pursuit of becoming truly unique. (hence ''Der Enzige'' "The Unique" in the title.)
Line 150 ⟶ 158:
===Early development===
Egoism was revived by the anarchist [[File:Anqueer.png]] [[Queer Anarchism|''John Henry Mackay'']] who discovered Stirner's work in ''Friedrich Albert Lange'''s ''History of Materialism and Critique of its Present Importance''. Mackay's promotion of Stirner and his advocacy of homosexual rights influenced [[File:Anqueer.png]] [[Queer Anarchism|''Adolf Brand'']] who in 1896 published the world's first ongoing homosexual publication, [[w:Der Eigene|Der Eigene]]. Another German anarchist publication publication, Der Einzige, was influenced by ''Stirner. Stirnerian'' egoism became a main influence on European [[File:Anin.png]] [[Anarcho-Individualism|individualist anarchism]] including its main proponents in the early 20th century.
===Illegalism===
[[File:Illeg.png]] [[Illegalism]] was an anarchist practice that developed primarily in [[File:Cball-France-Alt.png]]France, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland during the early 1900s that found justification in Stirner's philosophy. The illegalists openly embraced criminality as a lifestyle. Illegalists usually did not seek moral basis for their actions, recognizing only the reality of "might" rather than "right". For the most part, illegal acts were done simply to satisfy personal desires and needs, not for some greater ideal,although some committed crimes as a form of [[File:Insarch.png]] [[Insurrectionary Anarchism|propaganda of the deed]].
As a reaction to this, French anarchist communists attempted to distance themselves from illegalism and anarchist individualism as a whole. In August 1913, the Fédération Communiste-Anarchistes (FCA) condemned individualism as bourgeois and more in keeping with capitalism than communism.
===American Egoism===
American anarchists who adhered to egoism include [[File:Egomut.png]] ''[[Anarcho-Individualism|Benjamin Tucker]], [[File:Anin.png]] [[Anarcho-Individualism|John Beverley Robinson]], [[File:Anin.png]] [[Anarcho-Individualism|Steven T. Byington]], [[File:Anego.png]] [[Anarcho-Egoism|James L. Walker]].
American individualist anarchists such as ''Benjamin Tucker'' abandoned natural rights positions and converted to ''Max Stirner''<nowiki/>'s egoist anarchism. In adopting Stirnerite egoism, Tucker rejected natural rights which had long been considered the foundation of his beliefs. This rejection galvanized the movement into fierce debates, with the natural rights proponents accusing the egoists of destroying individualist anarchism itself. So bitter was the conflict that a number of natural rights proponents withdrew from the pages of the publication ''Liberty'' in protest even though they had hitherto been among its frequent contributors. Thereafter, ''Liberty'' championed egoism although its general content did not change significantly.
Steven T. Byington was a one-time proponent of [[File:Georgist.png]] [[Georgism]] who later converted to egoist Stirnerist positions after associating with Benjamin Tucker. He is known for translating Stirner's ''The Ego and Its Own'' into English. Other thinkers such as [[File:Anego.png]] [[Anarcho-Egoism|James L. Walker]] became the main contributors to Benjamin Tucker's ''Liberty''. He published his major philosophical work called ''Philosophy of Egoism'' in the May 1890 to September 1891 in issues of the publication. James L. Walker published the work before reading Stirner's work and later acknowledge the many similarities between their works. Walker describes himself as an "egoistic anarchist" who believed in both contract and cooperation as practical principles to guide everyday interactions". For Walker, the egoist rejects notions of duty and is indifferent to the hardships of the oppressed whose consent to their oppression enslaves not only them, but those who do not consent. Walker thought that "what really defines egoism is not mere self-interest, pleasure, or greed; it is the sovereignty of the individual, the full expression of the subjectivity of the individual ego".▼

Anarcha-feminist [[File:Goldman.png]] [[Ego-Communism|Emma Goldman]] was influenced by both [[File:Stirner.png]] [[Anarcho-Egoism|Stirner]] and [[File:Kropotkin.png]] [[Anarcho-Communism|Peter Kropotkin]] as well as the Russian strain of individualist anarchism and blended these philosophies together in her own as shown in books of hers such as ''Anarchism And Other Essays''. There she defends both Stirner and Nietzsche when she says: "The most disheartening tendency common among readers is to tear out one sentence from a work, as a criterion of the writer's ideas or personality [...] It is the same narrow attitude which sees in Max Stirner naught but the apostle of the theory 'each for himself, the devil take the hind one.' That Stirner's individualism contains the greatest social possibilities is utterly ignored. Yet, it is nevertheless true that if society is ever to become free, it will be so through liberated individuals, whose free efforts make society".▼

Egoism within anarchism is usually associated with individualist anarchism, but it found admiration in the mainstream social anarchists such as anarcha-feminists and Federica Montseny (who also admired Nietzsche). Max Baginski was an important collaborator in Goldman's publication ''Mother Earth''. Bagisnki in an essay titled "Stirner: The Ego and His Own" published in ''Mother Earth'' puts forward an anarcho-communist interpretation of Stirner's philosophy when he manifests that "[f]ully as heartily the Communists concur with Stirner when he puts the word take in place of demand—that leads to the dissolution of property, to expropriation. Individualism and Communism go hand in hand".▼

Individualism and Communism go hand in hand".
Although Stirner was opposed to communism for the same reasons he opposed capitalism, humanism, liberalism, property rights and nationalism, seeing them as forms of authority over the individual and as purveyors of ideologies he could not reconcile himself with, he has influenced many anarcho-communists and post-left anarchists. The writers of ''An Anarchist FAQ'' report that "many in the anarchist movement in Glasgow, Scotland, took Stirner's 'Union of egoists' literally as the basis for their anarcho-syndicalist organising in the 1940s and beyond." Similarly, the noted anarchist historian Max Nettlau states that "[o]n reading Stirner, I maintain that he cannot be interpreted except in a socialist sense."
Line 173 ⟶ 183:
In the 1980s, in the United States emerged the tendency of post-left anarchy which was influenced profoundly by egoism in aspects such as the critique of ideology. [[File:Anpostleft.png]] [[Post-Leftism|Bob Black]] and [[File:Landstreicher.png]] [[Insurrectionary Anarchism|Feral Faun/Wolfi Landstreicher]] also strongly adhere to Stirnerist egoism. Black has also humorously suggested the idea of "Marxist Stirnerism" just as he wrote an essay on "groucho-marxism". He writes in the preface to ''The Right to be Greedy'': "If Marxism-Stirnerism is conceivable, every orthodoxy prating of freedom or liberation is called into question, anarchism included. The only reason to read this book, as its authors would be the first to agree, is for what you can get out of it." Egoism has also had a strong influence on insurrectionary anarchism as can be seen in the work of Wolfi Landstreicher and [[File:Bonanno.png]] [[Insurrectionary Anarchism|Alfredo Bonanno]]. Bonanno has written on Stirner in works such as Max Stirner and Max Stirner und der Anarchismus.
In the hybrid of post-structuralism and anarchism called post-anarchism, the Australian political theorist [[File:Newman.png]] [[Post-Anarchism|''Saul Newman'']] has written a lot on Stirner and his similarities to post-structuralism. Newman has published several essays on Stirner. ''War on the State: Stirner and Deleuze's Anarchism'' and ''Empiricism, Pluralism, and Politics in Deleuze and Stirner'' discusses what he sees are similarities between Stirner's thought and that of Gilles Deleuze. In ''Spectres of Stirner: A Contemporary Critique of Ideology'', he discusses the conception of ideology in Stirner. In ''Stirner and Foucault: Toward a Post-Kantian Freedom'', similarities between Stirner and Michel Foucault. He also wrote the book ''Max Stirner'' which is a collection of essays on Stirner's post-structuralism.
==Beliefs and Philosophy==
===Self===
Within Der Einzige und Sein Eigentum, ''Max Stirner'' outlines how ''You'' the individual are a fully self-contained being that is beyond full comprehension. Arguing that the "creative-nothing" being both the creator and creation of your existence is the "end point of language" "Stirner speaks of the Unique and says immediately: Names name you not. He articulates the word, so long as he calls it the Unique, but adds nonetheless that the Unique is only a name. He thus means something different from what he says, as perhaps someone who calls you Ludwig does not mean a Ludwig in general, but means You."
Through this, Stirner is perhaps an early advocate of Nihilism - with the first and last words of his magnum opus being "I Have Based My Affair on Nothing". This is in connection to that fact that their are no "sacred" ideas - no objective facts or meanings to anything - Stirner instead designates the mental concept of the 'creative nothing' - a concept that can be likened to an emtpy bottle. The creative nothing is the unique individual and their existence, their consciousness, their property, their goals, it is what Stirner calls "It is the end point of our phrase world" in that it isn't an idealised man to get to - like a 'good citizen', or a 'moral man'. Instead Stirner's 'nothing' is the fact that YOU are already YOU - you then can't be anything more - and that the world is made out of your mental and physical creation - you are the creator and yet you yourself are also a creation of yourself.

==Relations==
===The Unique (Most Important)===
*[[File:Anego.png]] [[Anarcho-Egoism|Me]] - The Unique (me) above all.
===Union of Egoists (Friend)===
*[[File:Anpostleft.png]] [[Post-Leftism]] - You carry my ideas very well.
* [[File:Annil.png]] [[Anarcho-Nihilism]] - You understand me. I know your main theory isn't just existential nihilism, but many of my followers prefers existentialism and absurdism over defeatist nihilism.
Line 283 ⟶ 293:
*[[File:Radape.png]] [[Radical Apoliticism]] - No reason in getting yourself into this haunted house called "politics".
=== Half-Spooks (Neutral) ===
*[[File:Mutalist.png]] [[Mutualism]] - "Property as bourgeois liberals understand it deserves the attack of... Proudhon" but not for the sake of the community, that's a spook.
Line 296 ⟶ 306:
* [[File:Anprim.png]] [[Anarcho-Primitivism]] - If it's your desire to free yourself from the industrial revolution and modern civilization, then do so - but your dogma to destroy any technology you see shows signs of pure fundamentalism and irrational behavior at times.
*[[File:Apolit.png]] [[Apoliticism]] - You also agree that politic is a spook, but you cannot keep yourself from being affected by it.
*[[File:Acol.png]] [[Anarcho-Collectivism]] - You are a collectivist, but you were a great influence on my followers in Russia. Although let's face it, the collectivism in your name is an exaggeration.
===Spooks (Enemy)===
*[[File:Antifa.png]] [[Anti-Fascism]] - If fighting fascists pleases me I shall do so, but it is not my sacred obligation.
*[[File:Republicanismpix.png]] [[Republicanism]] - "Every state is a despotism, whether the despot be one or many, or, as some like to imagine a republic, all be lords, i.e., play the despot over each other."
Line 305 ⟶ 315:
*[[File:Ochlo.png]] [[Ochlocracy]] - "They must be even more a mere mass, a humanly insignificant, indeed an inhuman, mass, or a mob of inhuman monsters."
*[[File:Enlightenment.png]] [[Enlightenment Thought]] - "Those Enlightenment philosophers! We’ll feel that! What would form the basis then for this warm belief in ghosts, if not the faith in “the existence of a spiritual essence in general,” and isn’t the latter itself disastrously shaken when one allows insolent rationalists to rattle the former?"
*[[File:Sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism]] - "Authority subjugates the individual, instilling in him a selfless ideal. An egoist, under any authority, is a dissident, a free-thinker who refuses to follow authority based on his self-interests."
*[[File:Totalitarian.png]] [[Totalitarianism]] - I read Hegel.
*[[File:PolState.png]] [[Police Statism]] - Protects authority by suppressing dissidence.
*[[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism]] - "He hopes from the state that it will bring about an equalization of property. Always the state! The great papa!"▼
*[[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]] - "Under the regime of the bourgeoisie, the workers always fall into the hands of the possessors, i.e., of those who have any bit of state property at their disposal, especially money and land; therefore, into the hands of the capitalists"
*[[File:Obj.png]] [[Objectivism]] - People always confuse us. Individualism is not about private property rights, minarchism or being greedy. Also your fixed idea of truth and rationality is spooked beyond belief.
*[[File:Guildsoc.png]] [[Guild Socialism]] - "Abolishing competition is not the same thing as favoring the guild. The difference is this: In the ''guild'', baking is the affair of the guild-brothers; in ''competition'' the affair of random rivals; in the association, of those who need baked goods, and therefore my affair, your affair, not the affair either of guild or licensed bakers, but the affair of the associates."
*[[File:Commie.png]] [[Communism_(Disambiguation)|Communism]] - "In the opinion of the communists the community should be the property owner. On the contrary, ''I'' am the property owner, and I only come to an agreement with others about my property. If the community doesn’t do what suits me, I rise up against it and defend my property."
▲*[[File:ML.png]] [[
*[[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism]] - "Take a look at the nation, which is defended by devoted patriots. The patriots fall in bloody battle or in the fight against hunger and need; what does the nation say about that? With the manure of these corpses, the nation becomes a “blossoming nation.” Individuals have died for “the great cause of the nation,” and the nation sends some words of thanks after them—and profits from it."
**[[File:PanGerman.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism|Pan-Germanicism]] - "The German nation and German peoples have a thousand-year history behind them: what a long life! Then go rest in peace, never to rise again, so that all will be free whom you have kept in chains so long.—The people is dead. —Long live me!"
*[[File:Civlibert.png]] [[Civil Libertarianism]] - "How often the sacredness of the inalienable rights of man has been helped up before their enemies, and some liberty or other proven and demonstrated to be a “sacred human right”! Those who do this deserve to be laughed at."
*[[File:Christy.png]] [[Christian Theocracy]] - Why is God's cause to be my cause?
*[[File:Heart-Integralism.png]] [[Integralism]] - The worst form of the above, as all aspects of society are integrated in the common goal to oppress the individual under a false superstition. <s>At least you're honest about it, unlike [[File:Humanismpix.png]] {{PHB|Humanism|some people}}...</s>
*[[File:ProtTheo.png]] [[Protestant Theocracy]] - "Protestantism has actually made the human being into a “secret police state.” The spy and lookout, “conscience,” monitors every movement of the mind, and every thought and action is a “matter of conscience,” i.e., a police matter."
