You cannot have organs of internal security without
an internal threat. If one doesn’t exist the organs
will create one if only to justify their own existance.
The left understands this and has no problem labeling
their opposition as the enemy, hence “white supremacy”
is now named as the biggest threat to socialist”democracy”.
You are right. Also, socialists know that socialism doesn’t work, so they have to have some group to blame for their failure. And the eradication of that group will supposedly result in utopia.
