Beasts of Burden: capitalism - animals - communism: Looks at the role of 
animal exploitation in the development of capitalism, and the relationship 
between communism and the animal liberation movement. The animal industry is 
shown to have a key role in relation to the development of property 
relations, exchange, primitive accumulation and the factory system. Animal 
liberation is seen as expression of the communist movement, in so far as it 
poses in practical ways the reconciliation of humans and nature which has 
always been part of the communist project.
