In an era defined by climate crisis, social inequality, and ecological collapse, the political Left has long championed solidarity and progressive change. Yet, one transformative practice remains curiously sidelined: veganism. As the Anthropocene reshapes our planet, the Left's failure to fully embrace veganism risks undermining its own goals of justice, sustainability, and liberation. Could this be the missing piece in the fight for a better world? It's time to rethink the role of veganism – not just as a personal choice, but as a radical act of resistance against systems of exploitation and environmental destruction. The question isn't just why the Left should embrace veganism, but how much longer can it afford not to?
