Particular solidarities must remain open to universal solidarity.

Evidence

There are men who expect help from certain men and not from others, and these expectations define privileged lines of action. It is fitting that the negro fight for the negro, the Jew for the Jew, the proletarian for the proletarian, and the Spaniard in Spain. But the assertion of these particular solidarities must not contradict the will for universal solidarity and each finite undertaking must also be open on the totality of men. — Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity, 133
