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?

Idk I'm simply omnivore I guess. My body genuinely misses something if I go without it or fish for extended periods of time. A lot of people I know can't.

cravings won't kill you. you're conflating a desire and a need.

I mean, just like a substance or sugar withdrawal.

so it isn't a need, it's a craving. you "can't live without meat" the same way a lib "can't live without Hogwarts Legacy".

also, apes are mostly frigivores and dont eat meat. biologically speaking we are also frugivores. what kind of omnivore needs to cook, cut, and season the meat before eating it, and then still have stomach and heart issues afterwards? we aren't biologically designed to chew nor consume meat. if we were, we'd be able to pick meat right off the bone of a dead animal and eat it then and there, and not have any kind of issues about eating raw meat or too much cholesterol.

This is literally bullshit comparison and I'm not even going to waste my time explaining why.

Baboons, Orangutans and Chimps absolutely eat meat and fish. Also Grizzly who is an omnivore but eats fish and hunts deer and moose all the time. We can't eat grass, bamboo and leaves from trees either so what's your point? We are biological omnivores and meat(if not animal meat, then fish) has many proteins and calories. So yeah you can't force me like my father's side of gosh darn conservative and religious family(even they ate fish) because I don't actually and never liked plants except some fruits and few vegetables like potato at all.
