A is someone you share a situation with - school, regiment, workplace - rather than someone you have chosen, which is what implies. The political sense that dominates English comrade is present in Esperanto too, since the workers' movement was an early adopter of the language, but it does not swallow the word whole; in most texts it reads closer to mate or fellow. o is comradeship, and o a female comrade.
