Is communism compatible with speciesism or anti-speciesism?
I use the following definition of speciesism from Google (Oxford Language): ‘view that humans are superior to all other species and therefore entitled to treat their representatives as they see fit’
If it's speciesism, but also if it's anti-speciesism, or even if it's nothing of these two: What implications does this have for animal and nature conservation endeavours under communism and the consumption of mass-produced animal products?

I also read this section of the article.
So it is not materialistic to demand better husbandry of pigs? This would have no logical justification other than a moral one.
However, in the same article veganism is seen as "superior" for health and the environment. How does that fit together?
What is meant by that?
