My thoughts on veganism (lemmygrad.ml)

I escaped the Reddit regime a little while ago. I consider myself a marxist-leninist-MZT. Vegetarian and vegan for a few years. I've a lot of thoughts on how marxism and veganism are connected. Never wrote them down. I'd like to start smth like a club for marxist vegans to develop our own proletarian theory. Most vegan theory I found is either openly bourgeois (Francione is a literal TERF) or revisionist (anti-China, anarchist, libertarian). How about fixing this?

I'm not going to say it was full of entirely good takes all the time, but it did aggressively combat the kind of "we're carnivores lol" logic that is even being presented in this thread. Animal liberation is a significant blind spot for a lot of communists that they refuse to even investigate. The 'normal' vegans you're talking about are just quiet about it, which is why everyone likes them because they don't prompt anyone to investigate. I don't think its appropriate to relitigate that entire event, but if someone is comfortable congratulating someone for settling for "less bigotry" instead of "no bigotry", you'll find the difference between the type of person that posts on /r/vegan vs. VCJ.
