Welsh also takes great care to dissociate Stirner's thought from that of the 
other great egoist critic of modernity, Friedrich Nietzsche.

Why do people consider Nietzsche an egoist? For some, I'd guess it's just a word 

they have for those who don't preach a dogma of sacrifice to their fellow man.  
I've just never seen the resemblance, in style or content, though I enjoy 
Nietzsche in his way - the Philosopher Comedian. Is it just that living in the 
forest of egoists, I can see the difference in the trees, while to those 
far away, it looks like one tangled grove?

Even Rand could approach Stirner more closely than Nietzsche (I'm 
thinking of the end of Anthem.) Nietzsche seems more like Marx, in terms of 
writing *in reaction* to Stirner.
