English doesn't have a good single word for the relationship you have with people who are members of the same anarchist-marxist-commune-group as you. Trust me, it often isn't 'friendship'.
:D
Glad there isn't a single negative word for it, though-- a friend had an experience with a commune that he could only describe after his emergence by drinking too much and repeating catastrophe, rather like the news reporters describing the, uh, recent hiccups of late-stage consumer capitalism.'
(I could never tell whether Market Forces was meant to be funny. I adore the Kovacs books, and those are dead serious rage, earnest and electrifying in a way Morgan's other novels don't capture, imo; when the author referred to them as luridly violent and far-fetched, I could only think that better described Forces. Maybe it was just that a very un-sleek, traffic-stalled bus in China, a landscape you could easily imagine as the Zones outside the window, was not the best place to laugh at the absurdity of having more rules for vehicular battles than in the wars CI pretended to honor.)
