Summary
Mark and Wes read through and discuss Karl Marx's The German Ideology (1846), delving deep into the middle of his critique of Max Stirner's The Ego and Its Own.
Marx articulates and criticizes Stirner's attempt to distinguish the mere common egoism of an unthinking person from the enlightened egoism that Stirner is recommending.
Read along with us, starting on p. 259 (PDF p. 255).

| 1:23.6 | And we got the interaction between Marx and Foyerbach pretty well, but what we did not get |
| 1:28.0 | very well at all was what Marx had to actually say about Sterner, because that was contained in a |
| 1:35.2 | text called the German ideology, which we covered back in episode 70 in 2013. Oh, my gosh, so long ago. And of course, we didn't read the parts that were about |
| 1:46.9 | Sturner in there because we'd not read Sturner. We didn't know anything about Sturner. No reason we |
