I have heard so much about Ayn Rand that I decided to see what all the buzz was about and listened to Atlas Shrugged during my commute. That shit was the most insufferable, unrealistic, out-of-touch BS I've ever "read." She really thought a lot of herself. It was a horrible exercise in self-flagellation.
I think I stole it from PhilosophyMemes in the before times. They had some really great ones. I agree that Stirner is not someone to look up to, but he makes for a great meme.
Max Stirner. Some kind of weird egoistic anarchist. Friedrich Engels liked him a lot in his early years. If I am right Karl Marx wrote a lot about him, but mostly how stupid his ideas were.
LOL! Hell no, he wasn't. His ideas were simple, stupid and had not really a connection to the reality. It works maybe on a personal level, but mostly in your mind. If you have a connection with economics and the materialistic world, nah - it doesn't. I think the funniest part is that nobody would remember him, if Engels didn't make a lot of jokes about him. Even the only existing portrait of him is from Engels making fun of him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_German_Ideology
