[lbo-talk] A question about the "ally" concept

[robert wood]

I haven't ever seen it used in that context, to be honest.  It's generally
been tied to anti-racism, anti-homophobia, and anti-sexism campaigns, and
at this point, it seems to be primarily a derogatory term, the phrase 'who
aren't' tends to follow it.  It was a really popular idea about a decade
ago, but not currently.  Robert Wood
