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?

      Why would cloning meat be okay? That’s not normal, so shouldn’t people stick with what they’ve always done and slaughter animals?

          I know, but it’s not “normal” and you seem to think that matters? Personally I don’t think “it’s normal” actually means anything. That’s just the inertia of history - a quirk of our material conditions. Normal isn’t necessarily best.

      We eat chapulines in Mexico. It is very normal in indigenous land.

      Damn, now I understand why veganism is so divisive.
