Socialism is a mode of production.

A mode of production refers to the way humans organize themselves to socially reproduce.

Socialism is the ownership of the means of production by the class who uses the means of production.

A change in diets & relations to animals does not change the mode of production.

Even criticisms would be fine if the atmosphere wasn’t as hostile.

Like, the Anarchist/ML split flares up occasionally here, but we have managed without the site collapsing.

I’m completely open to learning more about veganism. I try to avoid meat because the industrial practices are horrifying & industrial meat production is destructive.

But also, I was raised around animals. I’ve developed social & cultural relationships with animals that end with killing. I genuinely believe these relationships are beneficial for me and the animals.

I disagree with vegans who believe that morality between humans is the same as morality between humans & any given species of animal.

But this disagreement doesn’t need to be inflamed, and I agree with vegans like 99% of the time.

There are too many outdoor cats in this world for me to be vegan.

Outside cat discourse was the GOAT. I didn’t really care to take it seriously and both sides were hilarious.

Cheers! I’m looking forward to beginning to put this pandemic in the past.

It is fitting that I’m getting my vaccine & this site is falling apart the same week lmao

If they’re all as awful as the ones who’ve been starting shit for the last week

Yeah, that’s 100% sign to abandon ship.

It’s cool the infrastructure of this website was built up, just to hand it over to a circlejerk subreddit.
