Postmodernist anarchists describe Max Stirner's as the most radical of the radicals. He is such due to his being an extreme subjectivist, extreme nominalist, refuting all abstractions. It may be that there are solipsists even more epistemologically pessimistic than is Stirner, but not my much.
His severe Taoist skepticism leaves no room for human thought, human culture, the development of civilization, and the West itself cannot exist without reasoning and some adherence to some abstractions.
We humans require communication and common structures of understanding out there in communal and objective reality for us to share thoughts, to exist, to love and remain sane.
We can have no ideas, let alone anticipating the capture of certain knowledge about the world and ourselves, as we flesh out our concepts in clear, concise, meaningful language.
