Should vegans be anarchists?

Posted on 17 June 2010

You might have noticed that a lot of vegans have an anarchist mentality, and I suppose only fairly so as the petitions and protests don’t seem to work.

Yes we all make a small difference in our own way by not consuming animal products, being more environmentally friendly and more conscious in what we do and buy, but is this really making a difference? There’s only a handful of us vegans, granted growing, but there are millions of them (meat eaters/ media minions).

Yes, you would still need to be be advocating, converting and changing minds in order to get the anarchy movement moving forward, but I feel people are a lot more open to change that benefits them despite their dietary choice (they’ll get over that). Once they are over the sheer shock of having a different governmental system, they will see that anarchy changes everything that we know for the better of everyone; because anarchy is not just about making a difference in the lives of the animals, it’s also about making a difference in the lives of everyone and the environment.

This thinking is based on the understanding that a majority of us are not happy with what is going on in our societies. And those who defend government and, as is often the case, the world banks’ actions, are ill educated on the subject and, more than likely, a prime example of systematic brain washing which has lead nations for decades.

So if we start getting people to question how their world is run maybe they’ll also start asking questions on how their meat is grown?
