What/who are you for me ?
It's been a while since I last read Stirner, but I keep remembering some sentences that don't seem to go together, especially with my relationship with others.
For exemple, in "Human Liberalism", he says "I do not count myself as anything especial, but as unique. Doubtless I have similarity with others; yet that holds good only for comparison or reflection; in fact I am incomparable, unique. My flesh is not their flesh, my mind is not their mind.” So here you can't be me and I can't be you, cause your "properties" (flesh and mind here) aren't my properties.
But in "My intercourse" he says "Let’s therefore not strive for community, but for one-sidedness. Let’s not seek the broadest commune, “human society,” but rather let’s seek in others only means and organs that we use as our property! As we don’t see our equals in trees, in animals, so the assumption that others are our equals arises from a hypocrisy. No one is my equal, but I consider him, equally with all other beings, as my property." Here, if I understand well, Max says that I don't consider you as a "good" or "bad" human or a "good" or "bad" thinker and so on, but as my special object that I "use" when I feel like it, as my property.
For now the two are pretty compatible, but what if I were my own property ?
"My power is my property.
My power gives me property.
My power am I myself, and through it I am my property." (The Unique and its Property, Chapter 2, The Owner)
So, if you are my property, and if the world is my property, are you a part of me and am I a part of you ?
Also, if I am nothing and you are, as well, nothing, what is the difference between you and me in the substance ? And even if after that we are not the same by our creations (cause after all this isn't Nothingness but Creative Nothingness), is there still no differentiation between you and me at our core ? (Or when we return to Nothingness by destroying our creations.)
I also heard that there was a differentiation between who you are and what you are in Der Einzige, so maybe its linked.
