ANARCHISM• Very broad – my interpretation.• Anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian.• ‘Anarchism holds the state to be undesirable, unnecessary, or harmful.’• ‘Anarchism is a political philosophy that advocates stateless societies often
defined as self-governed voluntary institutions, but that several authors have defined as more specific institutions based on non-hierarchical free associations. ’• Rejection of hierarchy.

VEGANISM AND CONSUMERISM
• Society can be shaped by the consumer’s economic vote – political act.• Access eg socioeconomic status.• Functions within and supports
capitalism.

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN ADVOCACY MORE ANARCHIST
• Broader definition of veganism – rejecting human supremacy.• Rejection of all hierarchy – intersectionality.• Situate animal (and human) oppression within capitalism.• Question the effectiveness of state solutions eg animal rights (pattrice jones).
