Well...black people have used the word brother/sister to emphasize "they're in this together".

I really don't know what revolutionaries should call each other...but I am not sure this would be the most crucial aspect.
What would worry me most if I were an active part of such a group would be..."are there enough of us to make a difference?" rather than "how we should call each other?".

Unfortunately, most people get caught in the pettiness of their own little, immediate situation (that sort of blind individualistic ideology which works for the rich like a charm) without realizing what a gargantuan power resides in NUMBERS, organized action and well-coordinated moves.

Oh, well. Maybe it's human nature.
