I dont think so Paul. I am reading Safranski's biography of Nietzche, and he claims that Marx wrote an entire book (that was never published) in response to Stirner's "The Ego and His Own", but it was unpublished. Safranski does not mention a title, but I imagine he would have if he intended something as well known as "The German Ideology". I guess he did not refer to it by name because the work may have no name...but I thought someone here might know differently.

<<We are at such a point in mankind's evolution where changed conditions invalidate all our policies that have been so successful even in the recent past, and that presumably have constituted the ideal response to a presumably unchanging and unchangeable human condition. No wonder we are stupefied and confused-but our mistake is the same which many cultures have made before us, namely to force a rigid model upon a fluid reality.
