Ep.9 Marx, Veganism and Political Solidarity Across Species

Marx, Veganism and Political Solidarity Across Species Where is the political solidarity from those who’ve thought and care about labour and social exploitation? Our guest today is Professor Leigh Claire La Berge. Her forthcoming new book Marx for Cats: A Radical Bestiary (Duke University Press), makes the case for political solidarity across species.

As we talk about in our book, Think Like a Vegan, animals’ bodies are both a means of production and a saleable product. They’re bound up in this impossible situation from which escape is seldom possible. And this brutal and unjust exploitation doesn’t stop with them. It permeates every aspect of our existence to our and their detriment.

Leigh Claire is a Professor of English at Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Free University of Berlin. Broadly speaking her work concerns aesthetics and political economy.
