"Sorry, you're not welcome here, the culture of exclusivity that clouds democratic politics."
By Samuel Ajah It's no secret that the United States' history is a mosaic of centuries of systematic, cultural, and societal oppression that has hamstrung generations of non-white people. While today's America is marginally better than in the past, we still struggle to face the ugly reality that we are not the classes, race-less, genderless utopia that we think we are, especially in left-leaning political spaces. It's not hard to see while we are making extraordinary progress, we are still nowhere near where we should be, whether that's due to infighting, failing to take the insurgence of fascism seriously, or ignorantly failing to be a comrade over an ally, a comrade in my opinion, never deserts a comrade. A partner is only helpful when it's beneficial to them or when they think it's in their best interest; in addition, allies can betray one another for their selfish purposes, whereas comrades are eternally loyal to each other and the causes they support.
