On the contrary, due to its primary usage as a military term, it is used as a term of address among right wing groups and can be used as a moniker for their members. However, the association is not inherent to the word itself, which is a neutral term in regular usage, but rather understood from context. Kamerad has historically been used as a truce or surrender word.
