There are far more videos on Stirner on Youtube than of Eric Hoffer. Why is this so? My theory is that Hoffer is not understood. He is celebrated but not understood. His disciples, even the great Thomas Sowell, do not really know what to make of him, or what to do with him.
My theory is that Hoffer is the first Mavellonialist thinker, a future, coming ideology not yet fully laid out as a system. Hoffer is less emphasized on Youtube than is Stirner because the libertarians, egoists, anarchists and individualists all get Stirner, but Mavellonialism is too new to penetrate the consciousness of people, yet.
