Stirner makes it quite clear that he’s not against people acting on their hedonistic desires. He’s against acting upon those desires at the cost of other, greater or equally important desires that that individual has. I don’t know where you got the reading that he’s recommending abstinence when he’s really recommending moderation.
What gets me is here are philosophy students yapping about making philosophy practical for human needs yet when Stalin acting upon those needs goes to protect the proletariat against the advances of the bourgeois you speak ill of his and his comrades efforts to do so. Sure, it was messy and bloody, and some mistakes were made, but that's a far better job than sitting on your keister while external and internal antisocialists are attempting to tear all the efforts apart. The USSR fell because of the illegal dissolution of the USSR and the fact that the purging activities were stopped and allowed opportunists to enter the equation, thus unraveling it.
"Stalinism"? Define that for us, will you? Are you even aware as to the usage of the USSR's state-capitalism? What was the material conditions that was being addressed by it and how was it applied and who were those that didn't receive benefit of it?
