The enemy of my friend, my enemy or whoever is not with me is against me!

Ardi Stefa

Why is the enemy of your enemy your friend?
And why is he who is not with me against me?

From the semantic point of view: "an enemy of an enemy is a friend, a friend of a friend is a friend, a friend of an enemy is an enemy and finally an enemy of a friend is an enemy" - lead to balanced relations.

In fact, both one expression in the title and the other testify to myopia and social and, especially, political short-sightedness.

Both one expression and the other cause people not to think, speak and act with their head, but the other person who has it on their head, they have it as "friend" or "enemy".

Both expressions show short-sightedness, lack of vision, originality and perspective thinking.

They often prove a lack of character and prove the axiom that whoever makes you nervous controls you.

And, if the first expression is an Arabic proverb, the second expression is the materialization of a communist concept, which glorifies the permanent conflict, fights social peace and keeps the political conflict always burning.

This is a negative and mostly adventurous concept that quite a few people have about politics in our country. First of all, in politics there are no enemies, there are opponents and disputes, which must be resolved either through dialogue or by filling people's minds that one side is right and the other is not. And, if these efforts fail, he finds a modus vivendi and life goes on despite the differences. The concept "enemy" refers to an atmosphere of war and a society at war, something that does not characterize most of Albanian society.

However, the impossibility of political forces and part of society to reform does not seem to leave much room for hope.

Look what happens to the main parties in the country, which have completely lost their political morals. Parties, which did not prepare any successor leadership after the traditional leaders. And so we talk about politically dead parties after their departure.

But let's go back to the starting expressions.
Both expressions are expressions that exclude morality, hope, responsibility.

Because if the enemy of my friend is my enemy, then the atmosphere of war, hostility and permanent conflict is kept alive.

Someone, under certain circumstances, can be an enemy or a friend, but any such alliance in politics is fragile, not stable, as it has no ideological basis; it hides behind morality but leaves open the way for today's friend to be tomorrow's enemy. It has been proven by history around the world!

The same with the second expression "he who is not with me is against me!"
It is an arrogant, exclusionary, conflicting expression!

It was born in communism, when Enver Hoxha carefully put half against half in conflict and war.
It continues just as neatly even today by the ex-communist leaders, who pit, at worst, half of society against the other and, at best, half of the party against the other. Because they want eternal political dominance.

It is the expression of peddlers and those who raise individual cults, false idols and twist their waists to the sound of songs dedicated to idolatry and who do not accept any other opinion.

It is an expression of those who don't know how to think with their head, but with the head of the leader, or, even when they know how to think with their head, they hide it waiting for the next bone, which if they didn't get, they didn't. there is a thing, they cross the rainbow again, without asking about their human cost, nor about the cost that the Albanians will pay.

It is an expression of those who have the "K'cimin e almadar" as the soundtrack of their political life and accept to be surprised by one, but anathema those who oppose them logically and politically!

It is an expression of those who, in their life, probably, do not have a single day of honest work!

And both exception expressions lead to regression! /CNA
