Changes

The lesson to be learned from Carl [[Schmitt]] is that the [[divide]] friend/enemy is never just the verification of a factual [[difference]]: the [[enemy]] is by definition always — up to a point, at least — invisible, it looks like one of us, it cannot be directly recognized, which is why the big problem and task of the [[political]] [[struggle]] is that of providing/constructing the recognizable IMAGE of the enemy. (This also makes it clear why [[Jews]] are the enemy par excellence: it is not only that they conceal their [[true]] [[image]] or contours — it is that there is ultimately [[Nothing|NOTHING ]] beneath their deceiving appearances. Jews [[lack]] the "inner [[form]]" that pertains to any proper national [[identity]]: they are a non-[[nation]] among nations, their national substance resides precisely in a lack of substance, in a formless infinite plasticity). In short, the "enemy [[recognition]]" is always a [[performative]] procedure which, in contrast to the deceiving appearances, brings to light / constructs the enemy's "true face." Schmitt refers here directly to the Kantian [[category]] of Einbildungskraft, the [[transcendental]] [[power]] of [[imagination]]: in [[order]] to recognize the enemy, the [[conceptual]] subsumption under preexisting [[categories]] is not enough; one has "to schematize" the [[logical]] [[figure]] of the Enemy, providing it with [[concrete]] sensible features which make it into an appropriate target of [[hatred]] and struggle.
