Tell this to millions among millions of Bangladesh vegetarians and farmers, pushed off the fertile land by police/army serving western multinational grain/fruit corporations, and chased to coastal swamps to survive on fish and roots of amphibious plants.

We shouldn't even struggle for people who don't struggle themselves, let alone struggle for animals, or fungi, lichens, or other forms of life.

We struggle among those who struggle against power, wealth, oppression, exploitation. I am not going to turn against a hunting and gathering forest community because some metaphysical ideal of separation of dna forms. Between the rich vegan and the poor hunter/fisherman, I'm on the side of the hunter/fisherman. Between the pent-house tofu eating bastards and the earth's near half of the population living in coastal and river areas of the entire "developing" world and barely surviving, I choose the later.

Finally, someone who at least speaks (if not thinks) in a true libertarian way!

First of all, the core problem is the prevalence of diabetes and the need for remedy, and if so in a community we should speak in numbers if we were to entertain Marxian curiosity of ideological line and political program. If in my community there are 3 of us I can't hardly think it is a communal problem to mass produce a remedy for the three of us. Maybe we should move somewhere where a remedy exists, before we run out of insulin that is.

nor is there even such a thing as a single “anarchist community”.

How large can an anarchist community be so the decision process maintains the libertarian proposal of social organization (direct involvement/participation, no representation, decision mostly by concensus unless critical in time and blocked by an insignificant minority).

I'd say pretty small.
