    Instead of grappling with the actual ethics of the thing we’re supposed to defer to these ethically flawless fully realized utopian projects? Next will you say it’s okay to be homophobic and a leftist because the communist projects of the 20th century can’t be criticized?

    The core of leftist beliefs that exploitation be abolished. Vegans are right.

      Exploitation of workers…

      How am I exploiting a krill when I use it to make kimchi? How are you not exploiting workers when you buy your tofu?

      When you use subjectively defined ideologies like vegan as a litmus test for morality or utilize semantic definitions of exploitations as a precondition for leftism, their entire meaning becomes reductive and trivial.
