Identifying the true enemy is philosophy’s first political question

Evidence

Calling for the end of the mistaken regime, “we should be careful to recognize the form of the dominating power that serves as the enemy” (145). We should first recognize the true enemy. “The first question of political philosophy today is not if or even why there will be resistance and rebellion, but rarher how to determine the enemy against which to rebel. Indeed, often the inability to identifY the enemy is what leads the will to resistance around in such paradoxical circles. The identification of the enemy, however, is no small task.” — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 815
