This book examines human domination over animals not merely as a matter of conscience, but as a historical, economic, and ideological construct. Speciesism is not merely a matter of perception; it is a system woven with relations of production, knowledge, morality, and power. Violations of animal rights are present in every detail of this system, from words and habits to tables and fairy tales. Power, Domination, and the Vegan New World explores how capitalism, patriarchy, and speciesism are intertwined, drawing on a philosophical strand stretching from Marx to Foucault, Althusser to Lacan. It exposes the illusion of truth across a broad spectrum, from the enslavement of animals to the seemingly innocent ideological codes in children's books. This book is a call not only to vegans but to everyone with an ethical responsibility and the will to change the world. It not only asserts that a new world is possible; it also demonstrates the building blocks of this world. It is time to discuss the freedom of not only humans but all species.
