The term '''enemy of the people''' is a fluid designation of political or [[Social class|class]] opponents of the group using the term. Its usage is derogatory, and meant to imply that the "enemies" are acting against society as a whole. It is similar to the notions of "[[public enemy]]" and "[[enemy of the state]]". The term has an extensive history. Its earliest use may have been by the [[Roman Empire]], where the [[Roman Senate|Senate]] used the term to apply to the [[Emperor Nero]] as a pretext for his arrest. Since that time, many groups have used the phrase, including the [[Jacobin Club|Jacobins]] during the radical phase of the [[French Revolution]] (the [[Reign of Terror]]) and by the [[Soviet Union]] and other authoritarian countries. | |||
