Class enemies are the enemies of the people and enemies of the working class of society. They can be landlords, police, capitalists, rightists, human traffickers, plantation owners, or any other flavor of oppressor and/or exploiter. Some think we are brainwashed for using this term, but at the end of the day they are the same category of people to us as socialists. We could get specific and create a ranking of which ones are worse and what forms of exploitation deserve the more severe punishment, but that would just be splitting hairs. The Tibetan aristocracy was a theocracy that owned humans and basically had a form of slavery, so why would we feel such a need to differentiate this from other forms of slavery? They owned people, they’re wrong for that and for defending that to this day. There’s no functional difference between these. They’re class enemies and need a punishment for their crimes. Others are indirectly responsible for upholding modern oppressive and exploitative systems like police or government employees of bourgeois regimes. At the end of the day, these people are all on the same side working against us and taking away our rights and freedoms. They are traitors to the proletariat, and once the revolution comes they will be tried for their treason and their heinous crimes against all of us!
Aside from the two categories I mentioned which are bourgeois and enforcers of the bourgeois regime, there is another category of people that without fail, are considered class enemies. These are people who contribute to the mistreatment of minorities and/or mistreat vulnerable people themselves. These are the people who participate in the Klux Klux Klan, Defend the actions of Israel, work with taliban-style religious extremists to go against gay rights, these are the reactionaries that work to oppress others from the social side. They will say things like “The rainbow flag should not be shown” but when you talk to them, you realize they have no dialectical reason for anything they say and have a desire to systematically destroy our people. Class enemies tend to have a lot of opinions but they tend to be invalid. They have no critical thinking and you can’t talk to them about anything that goes against the worldview they are permitted to have by authorities and society. Everything about their worldview, their morality, and even their understanding of reality will always be distorted to serve the interests of their social class and to justify their crimes.
Don’t go starting arguments, but if you are directly questioned by someone that truly wants to know, tell them you stand by the actions of Fidel Castro or whoever else. There is usually a story that is told such as “Fidel Castro killed my uncle.” “Mao destroyed my family.” but when we understand the ideology behind this, we have to ask what was actually going on, and we will not get a genuine answer from someone who was once the oppressor of the proletariat. Do not be rude to them, but think to yourself what modern millionaires would come up with if he fled the US after a socialist revolution. Think about the people who work for extremist propaganda in America and the insane, unbelievable and fabricated stories they could create if they fled the country once we took power. What are we supposed to think? They literally want us to believe that the bourgeois have an innate right to lord over everyone else. The secret to the situation is that you don’t need to respond to these people at all. If someone says something crazy like that, just find someone better to interact with that matches your vibration.
