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?

To add on to what you are saying. While i think its great if people want to be vegan vegetarian or anything in their own personal lives. I do not think its possible to really separate that issue from elitism. I mean its an individual making an active choice to NOT eat things that are perfectly edible. Just having to financial ability to do that is pretty rare in the wider world. So many people simply don't have the luxury to be picky about what they eat. They just eat what they can get and it usually still isn't enough.

So a community like this doesn't make sense to me. What would make more sense tho in my opinion is a general recipe sharing community where people can share recipes. Vegan users can share affordable easy to make vegan recipes to help expose others to things they might otherwise not be aware are an option. Without trying to push a specific strict diet on them they may not be able to maintain logistically.

Animal products are more usually the more expensive food items. A vegan diet is cheaper, uses less land and resources. If there was no animal agriculture, we would waste less food and could feed more people.

So quite the contrary.

Outside of the western world, this is false.

Beans and rice are more expensive outside the Western world?
