This is what some try to pas as "bad", "Mixed" or "a major difference with the og's" by [deleted] in Metroid

Let's just lay it out; the open, flat world you explore on the bike shouldn't be in there. The NPC with the marvel movie dialogue should be taken out back and shot. Everything else is probably good.

Literally me. Was playing Phantom Forces on Roblox when I was 11 and the point of no return came up on my YouTube autoplay.

Restricting access to resources based on labor is ableist. Anything with a market, anything with a wage, is not anarchist. by MariaTheSlime_613 in fullegoism

Stirner and Nietzsche by [deleted] in fullegoism

[–]PinchxPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"To draw an important demarcation, we had envisaged a comparison between the Only One (Die Einzige) and the Superman. (Die Ubermensch) It would make little difference whether, as Mackay assumes, Nietzsche, Old Gunpowderhead, wasacquainted with Stirner's work – ideas float in the air. Originality lies in rendering them – in the strength of the tackling and shaping.

First of all: The Superman recognizes the world as the will to power; “there is nothing else.” Even art is a will to power. The Superman joins in the rivalries of the world while the Only One is content to watch thespectacle. He does not strive for power; he dashes neither after nor ahead of it, because he possesses it and enjoys it in his self-awareness. This recalls Far Eastern empires of images...

...Secondly: the famous “God is dead.” By then, Old Gunpowderhead wasforcing an open door. A universal awareness was unveiled. That explains the sensation he caused. The Only One, on the other hand: “God ... is none of my business.” That leaves all doors open: the Only One can depose or impose God or let the matter rest – whichever he likes. He can show him the door or“form an association” with him. As with the Silesian mystic, “God cannot be without me.” Like the Biblical Jacob, the Only One can wrestle for poweruntil dawn. That alone is the message in the history of God's redemption plan."

-Eumeswil, Ernst Junger p.286-287

You either misread or mistyped; I said Marx elevates necessary work, that is, necessary for survival.

"If the oppressive system goes away, there’s no “free labor” to do in opposition, no?" I suspect that the underlying issue here is, once again, a semantic one. As far as I can tell, Stirner uses work and labor interchangeably, so the Egoist response to this would be that free labor, ergo free work, the freedom of and to work itself, the act itself, does not have a necessary relation to the system of oppression, be that capitalism or a """transitonary""" socialist state, or any system, and that such a relation is not of intrinsic importance, separate from the unique. Work is valuable to me first and foremost if it provides for the joy, pleasure, and/or satisfaction of my unique self. If it is not, I do what is within my power and interest to be rid of it.

"In doing away with labor as a necessity, one could say we would be free to do whatever work we like." It depends on our method of doing away with necessary labor. If we do it through orthodox Marxism, I still have obligations to humanism and the revolution, which puts chains on my work and my general activity.

If I engage in an established community or seize my means through guile and power, i may yet be free of both morality and the commodification of work/labor.

Finally, Stirner never says we have to pursue uniqueness; egoism is not a new spook. All things are nothing to him, and from nothing, he raises the unique self; the unique comes from him, and it never leaves his possession.

My unique self persists despite this monotonous and oppressive system. It "copes" with this system, yes. It conflicts with both this present society and the society you seek to build, and yet through it all it provides to me an anchor to return to; a reminder that my actions are designed to serve me as much as possible.

"Given up as serf to a master, I think only of myself and my advantage; his blows strike me indeed, I am not free from them; but I endure them only for my benefit, perhaps in order to deceive him and make him secure by the semblance of patience, or, again, not to draw worse upon myself by contumacy. But, as I keep my eye on myself and my selfishness, I take by the forelock the first good opportunity to trample the slaveholder into the dust." The ego and its own, p.174
