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?

It's not that, it's natural for humans, we're omnivores by nature, being vegan is a choice yes.

yes, as is choosing to kill living beings in order to eat their flesh. you are making a willing choice to contribute to more suffering in the world.

Plants are also living beings, your point is...

What did your ancestors do? Did they eat grass all the time or did they hunt Mammoths and Deer? I never: poached, killed endangered species, tortured innocent animals, wasted food, encourage slaughterhouses or hunt species on the brink of extinction. So no.

You wouldn't mentally survive 2 days in the Balkans I swear to Christ.

i'm a white person in the united states, so my ancestors probably did a lot of genocide mostly. i don't think i'm going to look to their example for anything.

you're the one who's afraid of vegetables lol, i don't think you have any ground to stand on talking about what other people would and wouldn't survive

That too, so think about it before you judge other places, but I meant ancestors as in caveman since humans first came to be.

There are many proteins and calories in meat and fish which you simply won't get from plants only, human beings are naturally omnivores, it's not good to eat way too much of either, the best is a balanced diet, especially in case of weight problems or so. You can choose to eat only plants but that's not my problem. The problem is that this is my first time encountering a salty vegan who wants to force this shit to others if we ignore that one time when some mf tried to kidnap a chicken from store which I heard of.. I ate fruits and some vegetables (potato) but I eat and prefer other stuff a lot more.

As I said, you wouldn't last 2 days in Balkans.
