Total liberation is a political concept which takes anarchism, anti-capitalism, intersectional feminism, animal liberation, anti-colonialism, and earth liberation (or social ecology); combining each of these movements into one struggle through the construction of a hierarchy-analysis which highlights the parallels between all of the different forms of domination and oppression which these movements oppose. Common examples of structural hierarchies which are identified by total liberationists include the state, capitalism, cisheteropatriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, colonialism/imperialism, and speciesism or anthropocentrism. Proponents of total liberation typically advocate for veganism and creating political change through direct action.
