Total Liberationism or Veganarchism is a movement and political philosophy that combines anarchism with a commitment to animal and earth liberation. It is an Anarchist, Environmentalist, culturally left-wing ideology inhabiting the LibLeft area of the political compass. They believe that the hierarchy of humans over animals is unjust, so we should not abuse or exploit animals for food, clothing, entertainment, or any other purpose. Total Liberationism also opposes all forms of human oppression as well as the oppression of other animals and ecosystems.

History

Total Liberationism exploded during the 1960's and 1990's as a new perception of anarchism to deal with newly emerging societal issues. Groups that have taken to espousing Total Liberation include the Hunt Saboteurs Association, which has sabotaged fox-hunting operations, and the Animal Liberation Front, which has broken into farms and animal facilities to free captive animals. Both of these groups originated in the United Kingdom.

Foundations and Beliefs

Total Liberationism takes normal anarchist talking points like the state and capitalism, and uses them as a way to show the struggle for total liberation. Total Liberationism also supports a holistic and intersectional revolutionary strategy aimed at using direct action to dismantle all forms of domination and social hierarchy, common examples of which include the state, capitalism, patriarchy, racism, heterosexism, cissexism, disablism, ageism, speciesism and ecological domination.

Veganism is about nonviolence. First and foremost, it’s about nonviolence to other sentient beings. But it’s also about nonviolence to the earth and nonviolence to yourself. If animals matter morally, veganism is not an option — it is a necessity. Anything that claims to be an animal rights movement must make clear that veganism is a moral imperative. — Gary L. Francione

Personality and Behavior

Total Liberationism is an animal lover. Total Liberationism is falsely depicted as violent.

  • Environmentalism - The animals matter as individuals and not just what they contribute to the environment.
  • Anarcho-Pacifism - Self-defense and defense of others are justifiable. Strikes and non-violent sabotage and rescues are based though.
  • Neoluddism - Look, your intentions aren't bad, but oh my Lorax you are too violent. Also, why are you such a reactionary?
