Totally! Fiber is good for you.

There are several essential amino acids we need to survive but don't produce in our bodies. No plant has all of those amino acids, but every animal product does. You can get complete plant protein by consuming multiple different plants, so if a vegan has a varied diet they're usually fine.

Mandating profit sharing doesn't mean communism

That's an urban legend, most of what you lose in the skin is fiber. The skin and the interior of the tuber both contain all your micronutrients

Unions may have started from the socialist movement, but insisting they're communist in nature is just denying reality. Social liberalism also split from democratic socialism, and is an explicitly capitalist ideology. Genetic arguments are almost always shit, and I challenge you to walk up to the average union worker and ask them if they're a communist.

This is just the No True Scotsman argument. Every communist nation has always insisted that the dictatorship is a necessary transitional state so that true communism could be achieved, and been run by parties espousing the need to achieve that communism. Those dictatorships have never truly moved towards that.

Either communism is impossible or communism is dictatorship. You can pick either one, but there's not another option.
