Its association with communism is relatively short. Comrade has traditionally been associated with close friend, companion, colleague, coworker, fellow soldier, even fellow participant in noncommunist movements like the feminist movement. For me, comrade is a charming word that I use to address someone as a mark of respect. That's all I want to say, comrade Iguana.
Thank you Gilly.........
You're welcome, comrade GT.
