Antithetical to Man is the Un-Man, the egoist.... to the guardians of
human society, the un-man, who does not correspond or submit to its
laws, is regarded as ‘inhuman’. Consequently, as Stirner writes
perceptively (anticipating a whole line of Nietzschean thought), ‘the
state excludes him; it locks him up, or transforms him from an
inhabitant of the state into an inhabitant of the prison (inhabitant of
the lunatic asylum or hospital in the case of communism)’.
