Our age has given birth to two intellectual giants, who have undertaken to transvalue the dead social and moral values of the past, especially those contained in Christianity. Friedrich Nietzsche and Max Stirner have hurled blow upon blow against the portals of Christianity, because they saw in it a pernicious slave morality, the denial of life, the destroyer of all the elements that make for strength and character. True, Nietzsche has opposed the slave-morality idea inherent in Christianity in behalf of a master morality for the privileged few. But I venture to suggest that his master idea had nothing to do with the vulgarity of station, caste, or wealth. Rather did it mean the masterful in human possibilities, the masterful in man that would help him to overcome old traditions and worn-out values, so that he may learn to become the creator of new and beautiful things.
Both Nietzsche and Stirner saw in Christianity the leveler of the
human race, the breaker of man's will to dare and to do. They saw in
every movement built on Christian morality and ethics attempts not
at the emancipation from slavery, but for the perpetuation
thereof. Hence they opposed these movements with might and main.
"The Rebel", Camus
In "The Rebel" the second chapter on "Metaphysical Rebellion" has
a section on "Absolute Affirmation" - which has a subsection on
Stirner entitled "The Unique". In the American Vintage Book edition
this comprises pages 62-65 inclusive. There is also a brief reference
to Stirner on page 154.
"Human Action", Ludwig Von Mises
pg. 151
If one assumes that there exists above and beyond the individual's
actions an imperishable entity aiming at its own ends, different from
those of mortal men, one has already constructed the concept of a
superhuman being. The one cannot evade the question whose ends take
precedence whenever an antagonism arises, those of the state or
society or those of the individual. The answer to this question is
already implied in the very concept of state or society as conceived
by collectivism and universalism. If one postulates the existence of
an entity which ex definitione is higher, nobler, and better than the
individuals, then there cannot be any doubt that the aims of this
eminent being must tower above those of the wretched individuals. (It
is true that some lovers of paradox-for instance, Max Stirner- took
pleasure in turning the matter upside down and for all that asserted
the precedence of the individual.) If society or state is an entity
endowed with volition and intention and all the other qualities
attributed to it by the collectivist doctrine, then it is simply
nonsensical to set the shabby individual's trivial aims against its
lofty designs.
"How I found Freedom in an Unfree World", by Harry
Browne
pg. 19
It is not realized in the full amplitude of the word that all freedom
is essentially self-liberation---that I can have only so much freedom
as I procure for myself by my ownness.
---Max Stirner
pg. 114
Might is a fine thing, and useful for many purposes; for "one goes
further with a handful of might than a bagful of right."
---Max Stirner
Too often, the ethical-political meaning of individualism is held
to be: doing whatever one wishes, regardless of the rights of
others. Writers such as Nietzche and Max Stirner are sometimes
quoted in support of this interpretation. Altruists and
collectivists have an obvious vested interest in persuading men that
such is the meaning of individualism, that the man who refuses to be
sacrificed intends to sacrifice others.

Anarchism was frequently associated with assassinations. It had an appeal for freethinkers, such as Kropotkin and Bakunin, but also for religious idealists, like Tolstoy and Dorothy Day of the Catholic Worker movement. Most anarchists hoped, Joachim-like, to redistribute the wealth, but Rebecca had once told him about a classic of anarchist literature, Max Stirner's The Ego and His Own, which had been called "the Billionaire's Bible" because it stressed the advantages the rugged individualist would gain in a stateless society-and Cecil Rhodes was an adventurer before he was a banker. The Illuminati were anarchists.

The next day, he had burned his naturalization papers and put the ashes in an envelope addressed to the President of the United States, with a brief note: "Everything relevant is ruled irrelevant. Everything material is ruled immaterial. An ex-citizen." The ashes of hie Army Reserve discharge went to the Secretary of Defense with a briefer note: "Non Serviam. An ex-slave." That year's income tax form went to the Secretary of the Treasury, after he wiped his ass on it; the note said: "Try robbing a poor box. Der Einziege." His fury still mounting, he grabbed his copy of Das Kapital off the bookshelf, smiling bitterly at the memory of his sarcastic marginal notes, scrawled "Without private property there is no private life" on the flyleaf, and mailed it to Josef Stalin in the Kremlin.
