I feel as though I am at a cross-roads in my career, which is pretty presumptuous considering I have over a year before I get that Bachelors (God willing). I just got a job at the working families party doing canvassing. Despite my experience, I still took this job because I'm sure that by the time I graduate, I'll be out here being a canvass director.
However, the conflict lies in this: the Working Families Party works closely with the Democrats, but beyond that, they have gotten themselves into a position where they are at the Democrat's mercy. They, unwillingly, endorse establishment democrats for fear that these well-known figures will destroy their reputation if they try to go against them.
I am everyday growing less trusting of the system. I'm at a cross-roads in my career whether I believe the system can be changed from the inside, or if the system was inherently created to oppress the workers and marginalized communities. I know that as long as we are a nation relying on capitalism, the people will never be liberated. It is the United States of Corporate America, and we are the ants that feed it to grow.
Enough. Death to Aristocrats. Proletariat forever.
As more people take on the vegan lifestyle, I feel compelled to write this piece to bring out the necessity of a Marxist approach to veganism for the growth of the animal rights movement. The vegan movement is one that believes in non-humans right to life without exploitation. The vegan lifestyle is one that does not use nor consume any product that had come, or has an ingredient, from an animal or animal exploitation. Examples of what is not vegan: honey in tea, an egg and cheese sandwich, leather, horseback riding, going to zoos, etc. As one practices a vegan lifestyle, the more it becomes apparent how many times animal products, and unnecessarily too, are used in everyday products from cigarettes to toothpaste. Often vegan products or companies trying to appeal to vegans will label their products “cruelty-free” which then becomes very controversial since that is often not true, something or someone had been exploited. The point of veganism has now become to live as ethically
