YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Today, Adam from Acid Horizon welcomes Jacob Blumenfeld into the Zer0 Books Archives to discuss his 2018 Zer0 Books text All Things Are Nothing To Me: The Unique Philosophy of Max Stirner. Adam and Jacob discuss the context and legacy of this often-forgotten thinker of the left and a key influence on Marx and Engels in their development of dialectical materialism. They discuss Stirner’s critique of identity, his notion of ‘egoism’, his ideas around self-ownership as a critique of ideology, his critique of Utopian Socialism, and dive into Jacob’s thesis of a Stirnerian egoism as ‘Marx’s Communism from the First-Person Perspective’. This is an essential book for those interested in the Young Hegelian origins of Marx and Engels, and a communist theory that takes the fulfilment of the needs of the social and personal individual at its heart, at the same time as it encourages the creative development of the powers of all to enjoy themselves as an insurgent force of creativity; beyond debt, state, God, morality, and capital.
