Veganism seems to fall so obviously out of leftist beliefs, there are definitely other ways to get there but even if you are a speciest animal ag is so wantonly destructive, intensive, exploitative, colonial, and abusive to human workers not being against it is a big question mark.
I want to be charitable to people, I understand that deprogramming yourself can take a while, but when people have been aware that veganism is an option for months/years without taking any material steps… I dunno, are you just a treatlerite mad you don’t have enough treats?
Has anyone had any real progress making other leftists they meet vegan? I’ve only managed to get three people to permanently adopt the philosophy in my life. None of those were particularly leftist, just justice sympathetic.
edit: I actually want to hear from other vegans in the vegan comm. Shocking I know.
I’ve had the opposite experience tbqh. So far just about all the most principled communists I’ve met in real life are not vegan, some even a little bit hostile to the idea. I don’t know how to feel about that but it’s what happened. I thought there would be more. I guess I haven’t asked everyone, but it has come up with many of them
