Page "Individualist anarchism" Paragraph 32

For Stirner, property simply comes about through might: " Whoever knows how to take, to defend, the thing, to him belongs property.

" And, " What I have in my power, that is my own.

So long as I assert myself as holder, I am the proprietor of the thing.

" He says, " I do not step shyly back from your property, but look upon it always as my property, in which I respect nothing.

Pray do the like with what you call my property !".

His concept of " egoistic property " not only a lack of moral restraint on how own obtains and uses things, but includes other people as well.

His embrace of egoism is in stark contrast to Godwin's altruism.

Stirner was opposed to communism, seeing it as a form of authority over the individual.
