On solidarity as commonality
 

Land 12-13: "[A]llowing for others to exist in some strong sense, joining their ways of accessing things or at least appreciating them, just is solidarity. Solidarity requires having something in common. But having something in common is exactly what culturalism sees as essentialism, and thus as reactionary primitivism. How do you get there--solidarity--from here--the strong correlationism that lords over Marxist, anti-imperialist and imperialist thought domains? [...] Perhaps we could reimagine solidarity without having anything in common? This is the popular approach from within strong correlationism. Or perhaps--and this is Humankind's approach--we could reimagine what 'to have in common' means."
