Through Schmitt’s words, “the specific political distinction to which political actions and motives can be reduced is that between friend and enemy” (Schmitt, p. 26). When you are making friends and enemies through certain actions, then you are actively participating in the political. “The political enemy need not be morally evil or aesthetically ugly; he need not appear as an economic competitor, and it may even be advantageous to engage with him in business transactions. But he is, nevertheless, the other…so that in the extreme case conflicts with him are possible” (Schmitt, p. 27).
