Because of its historical ties to ML-ism/Stalinism/Maoism

Should, Democratic Socialists, for example, use “comrade” to address each other?

    Never thought about that, probably because my language already uses a special word that is different from “Kamerad” (comrade):

    “Genosse”.

    Much better, no military and hierarchical connotations.

    I wonder if there exists an English equivalent…?

    Dictionary gives me compeer, consorter or confrère as possible translations.
