From the glossary of the Information and Documentation Centre for Anti-Racism Work e.V.:
“Solidarity means to stand together with someone and support them. Coming from the labour movement, the term refers to the common struggle based on shared interests and a sense of belonging based on this. But people can also stand up for others if they cannot identify with them, for example because they do not share belongings or have completely different interests or problems. The concept of being an ally (also allyship or alliedness) attempts to establish a concept of solidarity that is independent of shared group interests, a shared identity, or paternalistic pity. Every person has different privileges that play a role in different contexts. Being aware of these privileges, striving to share them, and consciously using them to break through power relations, even if this may involve risks such as the loss of one’s own privileges, means solidarity in the sense of being an ally.” 391
For woke activists, solidarity is a code word for activist identity politics. Solidarity can therefore only be demanded from privileged groups towards marginalised groups.
Woke activists like to take certain events as an opportunity to present their own political demands as a kind of supra-partisan solidarity with the victims of oppression (see BLM).392
Utopian solutions are often promised to people: in a solidaristic society there is no more oppression (see Liberation). To achieve such a society, woke activists are to determine politics (see Transformation, Decolonisation, and Socialisation).393
Any criticism of woke viewpoints is considered unsolidaristic; in particular, resistance to identity politics, equality, progress, and climate justice.
