alienating people by scolding them about their dietary choices. It also tends to be ethnocentric. That's why a bunch of vegans managed to run one of my indigenous friends off this website, which is utterly infuriating white assimilationist bullshit.

for sure, but at least read over this and think about it. I don't think we can end animal agriculture at all by liberal individualistic action. I just think we CAN actually reduce suffering somewhat with our choices.
Sure, but people need to come to that on their own. In this extremely individualist society, no one wants to be told what to do. We have to speak to their concerns. That's what the vanguard party is all about. We take direction from workers, not the other way around.
The problem remains: you're not going to convince enough people to become vegan to actually change the industry. The change needs to come from changing the mode of production, which requires a vanguard party. And it's revisionist to put cultural change ahead of economic change.
You're ignoring the fact that that is not going to happen. Veganism isn't some new movement. I've known about it since the '90s. I was briefly a vegan. It's not making any fundamental difference in anything. You're wasting your energy. That's all I'm saying. Focusing on the economics is imperative.

If you could just choose not to participate in capitalism, like you can with factory farming sentient beings, I would hope people would do that.
It's like how I don't think Vietnam vets can stop the war by dodging the draft, but you should anyways.
