No mercy for these enemies of the people, the enemies of socialism, the enemies of the working people! War to the death against the rich and their hangers-on, the bourgeois intellectuals; war on the rogues, the idlers and the rowdies!

War to the death against the rich and their hangers-on, the bourgeois intellectuals... He who does not work, neither shall he eat this is the practical commandment of socialism... [Our] common aim [is] to clean the land of Russia of all vermin, of fleas the rogues, of bugs the rich, and so on and so forth.
Vladimir Lenin
[Enemies of Syria] are the enemies of the people and the enemies of God. And the enemies of God will go to hell.
Bashar al-Assad
The authentic rebel knows that the silencing of all his adversaries is the last thing on earth he wishes: their extermination would deprive him and whoever else remains alive from the uniqueness, the originality, and the capacity for insight that these enemies being human also have and could share with him. If we wish the death of our enemies, we cannot talk about the community of man. In the losing of the chance for dialogue with our enemies, we are the poorer.
Rollo May
The idea of enemies is awful it makes one stop remembering eternity and the fear of death. That is what enemies are. Possessions are the same as enemies only less so, they too make one forget eternity and the fear of death.
Gertrude Stein
We must smother the internal and external enemies of the Republic or perish with it; now in this situation, the first maxim of your policy ought to be to lead the people by reason and the people's enemies by terror.
