The concept of the enemy or the concept of the neighbor?

The article discusses the concept of an enemy in society, arguing that it is used by ideologies like communism to justify oppression and elimination of those deemed different.

Tako pridejo na trdo tnalo enkrat kmetje, drugič bogatejši, tretjič inteligenca, četrtič sumljivi iz vodstvene struktur. Ni pomembno, kdo zares si in kaj misliš; tvojo usodo določi kategorija, v katero te uvrstijo v neki centrali v službi »novega sveta«.

Pravkar sem si z branjem Imperija R. Kapuścińskega osvežil vedenje o tem, kako sistematično in dosledno je trajalo čiščenje sovražnikov v času Lenina in Stalina. Za milijoni, ki so bili deportirani v delovna taborišča, je za vedno izginila sled. Svojci ne bodo nikoli izvedeli, kje so končali. Seveda so trdo metodo prevzele tudi druge kom...

Bias read (Center): The article does not present a clear ideological slant. It critically examines the concept of 'enemy' in political ideology without explicitly favoring any particular political stance. The content is more analytical than biased, focusing on historical critique rather than promoting specific policies
