Sample text
The editors and contributors to this invaluable collection contend that one cannot fully grasp the foundations of racism, classism, sexism, patriarchy, ageism, and ableism without also understanding speciesism and dominionism because they are all ideologies and practices rooted in hierarchy and the creation of oppositional superior and inferior subjects. This total liberation framework links oppression and privileges across species, ecosystems, and human populations, suggesting a theory and path toward justice and freedom—something missing in traditional models of intersectionality.
I am impressed with Lupinacci’s plea to make friends with all forms of life, including trees and other non-animal forms of life and parts of nature. The impending disaster of dramatic climate change that most independent scientists are predicting (sixth mass extinction) will continue to seize the futures of many species, including humans. When reproduction and growth are completely controlled, living organisms are denied their own forms of biological and social organization—forms of organization that can only develop slowly through a gradual process of complex mutual adaptation with other forms of life.
The focus on tactics in this essay is important because it acknowledges that animal liberation has often acted as the site of interchanges (both co-operative and conflictual) between anarchist groups and the wider British left. Illustrating this is a discussion of relations between the class struggle anarchist group Class War (perhaps the most recognizable anarchist presence in Britain after their formation in 1983), and the Animal Liberation Front. The essay concludes with some examples of ways in which anarchist animal liberationists have either succeeded or failed to combine their efforts for animals with other social justice issues.
