'''Anarcho-Egoism''', is an off-the-compass libertarian unity ideology, that emphasizes the individual over any other kind of guiding principle; that is, the individual should do as they please, not bound by any government or moral code. He calls what he believes are social constructs and, well, everything he doesn't like a spook. In fact, web pages dedicated to the ideology are a spook, as is the author and the time and effort he spent on it... unless he enjoyed himself, in which case... well, still probably something spooky about it. It should be duly noted that Max Stirner himself was not an Anarchist. However, he widely influenced Individualist, Social, and Egoistic Anarchists.
 
== Variants ==
=== [[File:EgoInd.png]] Ethical Egoism ===
'''Ethical Egoism''', also known as '''Ethical Individualism''', is the normative position that [[File:Indiv.png]] moral agents ''ought'' to act in their own self-interest. Ethical egoism is often used as the philosophical basis for support of [[File:Libertarian.png]] [[Libertarianism|right-libertarianism]] and [[File:Anin.png]] [[Anarcho-Individualism|individualist anarchism]]. These are political positions based partly on a belief that individuals should not coercively prevent others from exercising freedom of action. However, this view doesn't require moral agents to harm the interests and well-being of others when making moral deliberations. What is in an agent's self-interest may be incidentally detrimental, beneficial, or neutral in its effect on others.
 
=== [[File:RationalEgo.png]] Rational Egoism ===
'''Rational Egoism''' is the principle that an action is rational if and only if it maximizes [[File:Indiv.png]] one's self-interest. As such, it is considered a normative form of egoism. In it's strong form, rational egoism holds that to not pursue one's own interest is unequivocally [[File:Anti-Intellectualism.png]] irrational. However, it's weaker forms hold that it is not irrational to not always pursue one's self-interests.
 
Originally an element of [[File:RussianNil.png]] [[Anarcho-Nihilism#Russian_Nihilism|nihilist philosophy in Russia]], it was later popularized in English-speaking countries by Russian-American author [[File:Obj.png]] [[Objectivism|Ayn Rand]].
