Not trying to be sectarian but the first thing on the wikipedia page was a picture of stirner.
I hate to say it but americans will drag up the wildest political ideologies from the depths of history. Also they stated they hate tankies in the same line as "authority figures", neoliberals, and internet mods.
The western left, ugh.
Forgot to mention they plaster their (german) (noble) house crest everywhere. (They also identify as an anarchist????)
Supermarket of ideology.
"I'm not a communist, I'm an anarcho-deleonist-luxemburgist", says the liberal.
If you don't recongize the ideology, they are a lib (almost without fail)
Just skimmed the wiki article and it seems like a pipeline to anarcho-capitalism for people with no money.
I didn't even go that far. I saw the phrase "likes stirner" and "founder was set up with explosives by a cop" and decided to post here.
knowing absolutely nothing about what "illegalism" is, it sounds like what a 14 year old suburban kid thinks of when they draw the :anarchy: symbol on the bus stop.
I'm sure there's people like that but actually it's not really completely incomptabile from what a lot of people here espouse.
For example I think nobody here has any problems with shoplifting, which would fall under the overall umbrella of "illegalism". Also Bolsheviks robbed trains and did similar stuff.
Some anarchists just take it too far, as usual, and try to make an entire ass ideology out of it thinking just doing illegal things will somehow usher in a new world or something.
I mean I don't have a problem with disrespect for the law I do however think that niche ideologies like this are silly and they should just call themselves an anarchist
also they should stop advocating for feudalism that's just weird
That's fair I guess, it's really not such a complicated concept that it should be its own "ism".
Why not? Why not have a word to describe a specific tendancy within the wider umbrella that is anarchism? I doubt this person denies they are an anarchist, they're just using a more descriptive word.
It's not that niche. afaik it's just saying "Hey the laws of the state are illegitimate you can ignore them and it doesn't make you a bad person".
Tell them that Stirner is just Friedrich Engels wearing a mask in order to keep Marx busy.
"oh haha I'm a real person who ran a failing milk business and I died from a bug bite and no one came to my funeral, also all my opinions are like an exaggerated silly parody of what anarchists believe" yeah ok Engels
The only person I met who was into Stirner was also obsessed with Magic The Gathering, specifically the commander play mode
Only person I ever met who had a meltdown over losing a game too

I think that part of this is the desire to prove your intellectual superiority by referring to something nobody else has ever heard of. Maybe someday there will be a "real" left movement in the US and all these types will be absorbed into it.
Na these motherfuckers will turn around and sell me to the person trying to kill them in hopes that they won't be killed.
My interest in these sorts of things was a distrust and skepticism of liberals, a continued developing criticism and disdain of capitalism, and deflecting off of the anti-communist guardrails until I "got out of the car and climbed over" the guardrail using analysis
You should be sectarian towards dorks. Sectarianism good actually.
Not a sect when it's like 12 annoying people who've never met each other, they just picked the same political ideology stub from the internet hat completely removed from each other.
That's kinda my take. I'm not going to bully you for being an anarchist/ml/whatever but I will absolutely bully you for being way too in to monarchist shit and then claiming to be an anarchist.
Liberal Anarcho-royalist with Anglican characteristics, thank you very much
Twitter has been increasingly ripe for this shit, you’ll see someone make the worst take you’ve ever seen and go to their profile and their bio will be like 4 esoteric ass ideologies smashed together

There was a time a couple years ago where I made an effort-post about the Illegalist tendencies of Warhammer 40k's Dark Eldar, I'd like to think that this self-described Illegalist is one of my disciples.
you can't be an anarchist illegalist supporter of german feudalism I forbid it
I only know of this because it's one of the emoji thingies you can select on leftypol when making a post. Sometimes you can find there some very unique terminally online microideologies, that supposedly belong to real people. I love getting a kick out of those when I find them.
