Because apparently some of you liberals forgot.
Your personal consumption habits are not politics but aesthetics.
I don't care if you eat hamburgers every meal and wash it down with a nice refreshing smoke of crack - if you want a world where workers call the shots - then you're a comrade of mine.
I don’t see why animal “liberation” would be beneficial to humans or workers specifically. Take India for example. Hinduism is one of the world’s largest religions. It’s been around for over 2000 years. The cow and the products it produces are essential to many Indian cultures. As many of us know Hindus treat the cow with the utmost respect, yet they still use dairy products. My girlfriend’s denomination, Arya samajis, use a ritual fire called a havan to make sacrifices, usually ghee, or clarified butter. Animal “liberation” to many vegans would involve telling millions of people around the world that what they eat, how they worship, how they live their lives and take care of their children, is wrong. I don’t think telling indigenous people to adjust their lifestyles based on the moral squeamishness of holier than thou western “leftists” has anything to do with Marxism but yeah I’m sure in a communist world everybody will be eating nothing but bricks of tofu and multivitamins

This isn't really a good point imo, there's plenty of things wrong with how the majority of the world does things. It's fair to criticize, IMO.
I do agree with this point to a certain extent, though not all vegans are white leftists. I do think that eventually animal products should be and will be phased out, but this isn't an exclusively Marxist forum.
