About us
The Alliance for Marxism and Animal Liberation is an association of activists from the animal liberation movement and the communist left from Germany and Switzerland. It was founded 2014 in Hamburg. The impetus for its foundation was a collective debate of the animal rights and liberation movement and of Marxist organizations in the German-speaking countries. The purpose of the alliance is to support the political, economic and theoretical forms of class struggle against capital and the structures of capitalist society, highlighting the connection between the exploitation of wage laborers, animals and nature. This includes linking Marxism and animal liberation in theory and practice. Our objective is a socialism through which the working class, animals, and nature are liberated. We develop and discuss theoretical texts, organize events and participate in various political actions of both the Marxist left and the animal rights and animal liberation movement.
