From back cover:

“From an egoist perspective, the question of veganism is not moral at all. It is: Do I wish to participate in a system that reduces other sentient beings to instruments? Do I wish to fund, through my consumption, the brutally violent industrial machinery of animal agriculture? Do I wish to carry within my body the consequences of choices made by others on my behalf? The answer an egoist gives is likely to be: No. Not because egoism demands universal compassion. Not because the suffering of animals is an objective moral fact. But because the egoist recognizes that they are not separate from the world they participate in. They recognize that domination structures—the logic that justifies the reduction of animals to meat, of the natural world to resources, of life itself to extractable value—are the same logic that dominates the egoist themselves. To refuse to participate in animal agriculture is, for the egoist, to refuse one mechanism of the domination structure that constrains their own freedom. This is not altruism. This is not moral duty. This is the recognition that the spook of “hierarchy is natural” and “domination is justified” must be shattered everywhere it appears, because everywhere it appears, it limits the egoist’s own power…

“The anarchist individualists do not present themselves as proletarians, absorbed only in the search for material amelioration, tied to a class determined to transform the world and to substitute a new society for the actual one. They place themselves in the present; they disdain to orient the coming generations towards a form of society allegedly destined to assure their happiness, for the simple reason that from the individualist point of view happiness is a conquest, an individual’s internal realization.” – Emile Armand, Individualist Perspectives

Individualist anarchism operates from an adjacent but compatible premise: that imposed categories, enforced identities, and hierarchical arrangements are the fundamental problem, and that liberation consists of refusing to be sorted into their schemes. In this sense, anarcho-egoism is typically considered nearly synonymous with individualist anarchism. From this perspective, veganism is not about creating a new identity (“I am a vegan,” as if this were a fixed property), but about refusing participation in a particular form of categorization and domination. Animal agriculture categorizes sentient beings as property, as things, as resources. It sorts the world into the edible and the inedible, the valuable and the disposable. Individualist anarchism refuses this sorting. It refuses to participate in the logic of categorization that treats senti ent beings as mere things.”
