I axed this before, but you didn't see You said you hate anti-capitalists.
I'm confused. How do you profess to care so much about the right to life for animals (and humans?) but still favour and support a system that is directly responsible for misery and poverty, the destruction of habitat and livelihood and the death of millions of people, through wars, disease and starvation?
Is there a better alternative to capitalism?
It's quite straight-forward when it comes to animals. We don't need to invent a new system to stop eating them.

Fair trade, Keynesian economics, workers owning the means of production. Plenty of better alternatives than the laissez faire approach to economics that you champion.

I champion it? lol Since when? The system we have isn't laissez faire capitalism.
How do you propose we switch economic systems? What specifically would you do?

Have a mixed economy. Also allow private sector workers to take control of and profit from the means of production, like John Lewis Partnership, a workers cooperative.
