It was most likely my avatar of Stirner, which happened to be a picture drawn by Engels at a meeting of the young hegelians.

Thats cool to hear, do you remember which post by chance? I don't think that I have discussed him too much on the board (besides the random chance meeting on here with the odd poster who is also influenced by Stirner).

Although I agree and at many times disagree with alot of what Rafiq says, on that point he was spot on. I am also highly influenced by Stirner and Nietzsche, if you want to go more individual I would start with them. If I have learnt anything from Nietzsche its that there is not abstract truth.

I generally self-style as an anarchist around communists and a communist around anarchists; it allows me to keep discussions from degenerating into the same ideological talking points. Truthfully I am somewhere in between marxism and anarchism, perhaps one day I will realize I have had it all wrong and finally choose a side, but for now I am happy being somewhere eclectically in the middle.

I noticed you're from the great white north (me too) and I liked your Colbert (the ultimate in real life troll) avatar so I decided to befriend you. What are your political leanings? I assume anarchism given your picture on your profile of the black flag?
