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?

Hey, I’ve been vegan for a few years and would be interested in it as well. I’ve mostly read theory on speciesim related to racism (Ko sisters) and related to validism (Sunaura Taylor). I’ve discussed this subject in an informal manner many times in socialist/anarchists movements with other comrades.

I have a book in my to-read since a few months (https://cup.columbia.edu/book/animal-oppression-and-human-violence/9780231151894). I don’t know the author, but it looks like it’s explicitly trying to draw a link between capitalism and animal exploitation. I’ll probably get to it in 1-2 months.

Here is also a comment where I tried to explain informally why I think veganism is worth it and not just an individualist action but a political statement https://hexbear.net/comment/5751548

I whole heartedly support the idea of a such club. I, in fact, had recently a thought provoking conversation elsewhere about this topic and thought I'd have to expand it into a longer piece from proletarian perspective. So, yes, let's fix this.

There are already several people who responded. Should we just juse use !vegan@hexbear.net or create a simplex chat?

I guess if Hexbear already offers a suitable place, then that might as well be used.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
