Why Vegan Anarchy? A Vegan Look into the Reasons For Anarchy

  • 2025/06/26 19:07

“Mainstream vegan reading material is often written from a liberal rather than a radical perspective. By “radical” we mean a perspective that addresses the “root” of speciesism and human supremacy. While under capitalism, individual consumer choices do play a role in upholding speciesism and human supremacy, we also acknowledge the role industrial civilization itself plays in waging war against all animals – humans included!

This short pamphlet aims to offer an anarchist perspective to the vegan struggle for animal liberation by bringing attention to the technological-industrial, capitalist society that utilizes agriculture, land ownership, and environmental degradation to expand its control and power. It is assumed that the reader is already vegan and aware of the exploitative nature of capitalism and the social hierarchies of sexism, racism, ableism, etc. By understanding how capitalism keeps the animal liberation movement passive by transforming it into a profitable dietary trend, we hope to illustrate why we feel more vegan food options is simply not enough.”

Disorderly Conduct: Veganism, Eating Disorders, and Captivity

  • 2025/06/24 19:58

From back cover:

“The eating disorder recovery industry is a potent example of how human supremacy perpetuates harm and immense suffering. Have you ever heard anyone say they cannot be vegan because they are in recovery from an eating disorder? It is a common refrain foisted upon us by practitioners and institutions that force their subjects to view individuals with vastly different morphologies as commodities rather than as individuals who an alienating and oppressive global food system has likewise harmed. The recovery narrative itself is a fantasy when it is seemingly impossible to escape a context of imposed power that tries to force us into becoming as small, manageable, and legible as possible by prescribing rigid identities and modalities. Rather than viewing them as neutral sources of food, we should develop compassion for and solidarity with the animals who, like ourselves, are repeatedly abused by profit-driven food systems and psychiatric institutions that only serve the interests of those who hold power.”

Liberal Radical & Nihilist VEGANISM: A Short Exploration

  • 2025/06/23 17:52

From back cover:

“(This text was originally published in a zine called “Vegan Wild: An International Anarchist Journal of Total Liberation”. It has been slightly modified and expanded for the purpose of serving as its own zine.)

As a zine distributer and publisher we wanted to provide what we feel to be a basic outline for exploring vegan perspectives generally defined as “liberal”, “radical” and “nihilist”. Exactly how those of us affiliated with Warzone Distro understand veganism in our individual lives has been inspired by a multitude of perspectives – vegan, non-vegan, and anti-vegan -shared over the years. Reading and listening to different stories (and critiques) has without a doubt played an influential role in how we, as anarchists, relate animal liberation to veganism, as anti-speciesist praxis. In encouraging dialog, we find it practical to continuously challenge non-vegan anarchists, non-anarchist vegans, as well as question and expand our own understanding of veganism.

This text is by no means intended to be complete. Despite its simplicity, we feel this text has the potential to be a useful tool for those interested in creating further dialog of their own on the topic.”

America in Flames: Historic Uprisings Against Slavery

  • 2025/06/18 17:28

“Slave rebellions and resistance were means of opposing the system of chattel slavery in the United States. There were many ways that most slaves would either openly rebel or quietly resist due to the oppressive systems of slavery. According to Herbert Aptheker, “there were few phases of ante-bellum Southern life and history that were not in some way influenced by the fear of, or the actual outbreak of, militant concerted slave action.” Slave rebellions in the United States were small and diffuse compared with those in other slave economies in part due to “the conditions that tipped the balance of power against southern slaves—their numerical disadvantage, their creole composition, their dispersal in relatively small units among resident whites—were precisely the same conditions that limited their communal potential.” As such, “Confrontation in the Old South characteristically took the form of an individual slave’s open resistance to plantation authorities,” or other individual or small-group actions, such as slaves opportunistically killing slave traders in hopes of avoiding forced migration away from friends and family.”

How To Be a Happy Nihilist

  • 2025/06/06 22:52

From back cover:

“…to stare into the abyss and see the absence of meaning not as a tragedy but as an opportunity. To consider it a space to fill with your own values, to define how you want to be in the world and what you believe to be true. An active nihilist isn’t intimidated by chaos, they recognise it as a chance to create something new and better.

In my own journey toward sunny nihilism, I landed somewhere in the middle. I wasn’t horrified by a lack of absolute truth, but I also didn’t rush to write my own. Rather, I chose to pause, stare into the void, and consider the freedom of nothingness.”
