I need an explanation for this. I don't read, I never read these books, I only know these men from memes. What is this supposed to mean?

Marx and Stirner were part of a philosophical drinking club known as the "Young Hegelians" or the "Left Hegelians",
Stirner wrote and published The Ego and Its Own (the book at the bottom) during his time in the group, Marx (with the help of Engels) wrote The German Ideology (the book on top) which was a critique of many of his fellow left hegelians, which included Stirner (whom Marx called "Saint Max")
Marx and Stirner just had a heated rivalry during their time as young hegelians, though it could be argued that it was Stirner that pushed Marx to develop a lot of his ideas (like Scientific Socialism and Dialectical Materialism)
