Pham Binh on the "vegan diet"

"Instead of trying to organize the working class to collectively seize power from the capitalists (as Marxists do), many try to buy food that is not from corporations, practice veganism, and so on. Others focus on establishing "affinity groups". Either way, they are compromising with the status quo; the ruling class is not trembing because people are eating their all-natural veggies. If we want a society free from hunger and oppression, we have to take the society we do have as our starting point. We can't just "skip" over reality as it stands today and pretend that by eating a vegan diet will somehow overthrow the capitalist class and win workers' power".
