    in the current context it can only be expressed as consumption culture

    You're sure you know what veganism is about? Not lib pbc shit, actual animal liberation? Veganism isn't about eating impossible burgers at KFC, it's about doing everything possible to abolish animal exploitation. Just as you can't fight for workers while going out of your way to oppress them, you can't fight for animals and eat them if you could just as easily not. Eating plant-based is the bare minimum, not the goal.

    Do you not eat while you organize labor power?

      I've never thought veganism was about KFC. But, under the capitalist context, it is about altering consumption, not organizing labor power.

      Will it be important in a future controlled by labor? Absolutely! Is it important to try as an individual to limit animal harm? Yes! Is it worth it to me to push that consumption culture at the expense of current labor organization? Not to me.
