For some reason a lot of vegans turn to anarchism and there is not much marxist stuff on veganism around. Personally I view veganism as a sort of abolishionist movement that seeks to abolish the exploitation of both nature and other sentient beings as far as practically possible. Given the enormous usage of land and the enormous environmental impact the meat and dairy industry has, most of which is put on the shoulders of the Global South, I see it as a logical thing to strive for a society that is as vegan as possible.

What I meant with my statement is that many communists tend to kneejerk into ‘white privilege thing!’ as soon as they hear veganism, ignoring many different vegan practices around the world. It’s like a speedrun infighting word to use in communist circles I feel.
