Indeed, \u201cthe main enemy is at home\u201d has been a mainstay of anti-imperialist and anti-war political organizing since the leaflet\u2019s original publication.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This exhortation still has value, particularly when paired with Liebknecht\u2019s other slogan \u201clearn everything, don\u2019t forget anything.\u201d It reminds us of the self-interested nature of domestic ruling classes and their imperialist intrigues, particularly during times of war. Today, \u201cthe main enemy is at home\u201d is often interpreted to mean that leftists ought to focus on the misdeeds of their own domestic governments and economic elites, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and prioritize demands that those governments stay out of conflicts abroad<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s an important reminder.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">Naturally, however, as ideas travel further away from their original historical context, they become increasingly vulnerable to misinterpretation and abuse.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">\u00a0A<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">\u00a0significant number of Western leftists now misuse <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">\u201cthe main enemy is at home\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">\u00a0to sideline criticisms of other regimes and their ruling classes, legitimize reactionary apologia for those regimes, and condemn any and all policy responses from those leftists\u2019 own governments. In response, critics such as British-Syrian writer Leila Al-Shami have <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 17px;\" href=\"https:\/\/libcom.org\/library\/anti-imperialism-idiots-leila-al-shami\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lambasted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\"> Western anti-war organizations that, through such invocations of \u201cthe main enemy is at home,\u201d ignore the grim realities of a world with multiple imperial powers, and justify silence on Russian, Iranian, and other non-Western imperialism, along with the atrocities those states perpetrate within their own borders. For Al-Shami, this political orientation “combines identity politics with egoism,\u201d disregards native voices, and extends solidarity even to tyrannical states instead of the social groups oppressed by these states.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many socialist thinkers have attempted to rehabilitate Liebknecht\u2019s prescription in the face of these abuses. For instance, the writer Luke Hawksbee <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@lukehawksbee\/the-main-enemy-is-at-home-what-does-the-slogan-mean-32910b0ab3e8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reminds us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that Liebknecht\u2019s pamphlet was targeted specifically towards the German proletariat in a situation where Germany and Austria-Hungary were the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">actual aggressors<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in an imperialist war. According to Hawksbee, \u201cThe overriding lesson here is not \u2018condemn your own government and ignore the misdeeds of others,\u2019 but \u2018speak out against all wrongs, focus your efforts on promoting a foreign policy of peace and solidarity in your own country, and work together with political allies abroad to do the same in theirs.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>\u201cHome\u201d and Migrant Exclusion in Nationalist Canada<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But where is \u201chome\u201d? And who are<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cwe\u201d? For many migrants and diasporic communities in Western countries, this is not a hypothetical question but rather one of immense practical importance. Migrant communities do not have the privilege of thinking only about what happens in one place and centring their local enemies in every situation. Members of those communities have family, friends, loved ones, colleagues, and comrades back in their countries of origin who are often in struggle against authoritarianism, capitalist exploitation, military aggression, and ultranationalist forces there. The governments of those countries may or may not be geopolitically aligned with the West.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many of these migrants, \u201chome\u201d can be located in the constant worry that relatives\u2019 social media will be targeted for surveillance and repression, in middle-of-the-night check-ins to see if friends are safe from bombings, in remittances transferred to loved ones facing ethno-racial persecution, and in long hours spent scanning the Internet for ways to help comrades safely emigrate to another country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When organizing socialist politics here in so-called Canada, are we inclusive of and sensitive to these complicated, transnational concepts of home among our neighbours and comrades? Or are we reproducing \u201chomey\u201d forms of racialized exclusion \u2013 a kind of inverted Canadian nationalism that centres the Canadian state as the prism through which to relate to struggles beyond Canadian borders?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have observed, for instance, repeated examples of white activists in leftist spaces commenting that cultural genocide in China and authoritarian repression in Hong Kong have nothing to do with \u201cus,\u201d and that we should be focusing on our enemies at \u201chome\u201d \u2013 even while Chinese diasporic activists in those same spaces challenge this Western-centrism from a politically and personally grounded perspective. In the US, this trend contributed to the Democratic Socialists of America International Committee\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tempestmag.org\/2021\/12\/building-a-mass-movement-with-no-apologism\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">disgraceful refusal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to condemn the forced disbanding of the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions, which the Chinese and Hong Kong governments had brought about through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/hong-kong-former-union-leaders\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">intimidation tactics and prosecutions of union leaders<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is a bitter irony that in leftist organizations whose activists formally commit themselves to anti-racism, diasporic voices are displaced in favour of others advancing narratives in which only Western governments and their ruling classes determine the fate of peoples around the world.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The practical limitations of \u201cthe main enemy is at home\u201d are also on display as the Western left <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/socialistalternative.ca\/uncategorized\/canadian-establishment-stokes-fear-of-war-in-ukraine\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">seeks to respond<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to Russia\u2019s imperialist aggression in Ukraine. A foreign invasion tends to bolster nationalist ideas and, as a result, internationalist leftists in Ukraine find themselves further marginalized as the Russian army advances. In Russia, leftists are jailed in the thousands, brutalized for speaking out against the war; independent media outlets have been shuttered, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2022\/03\/russia-kremlins-ruthless-crackdown-stifles-independent-journalism-and-anti-war-movement\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new laws<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> introducing hefty criminal penalties on any sort of opposition to or honest accounting of the war have been rammed through parliament. Given this horrendous repression, diasporic organizing in Canada and elsewhere can be a lifeline for those most affected by the war. Progressive diasporic voices must be uplifted by the left in the spirit of internationalist solidarity, not shut down.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How might we advocate for domestic working-class anti-war organizing that is responsive and accountable to the massive Ukrainian diasporic community \u2013 our neighbours \u2013 many of whom have loved ones at immediate risk of being displaced, immiserated, injured, and even killed by Russian aggression, and many of whom have escaped similar horrors themselves? How can we target our legitimate enemies at home without displacing the voices, concerns, and agency of our Ukrainian neighbours and comrades?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>Diaspora Complexities and a Broader Conception of Home<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the migrant justice scholar and activist Nandita Sharma reminds us, home is \u201can idea that masquerades as a place\u201d \u2013 one that has been \u201coccupied by nationalist practices and colonized by nationalist imaginations.\u201d Within the Canadian nation-state, to be \u201cat home\u201d is reflected not only by preferential treatment in immigration and citizenship law, but also by a \u201cmanagerial sense,\u201d as Sharma puts it, of belonging in Canada. In producing this sense of entitlement to national identity, whiteness, of course, plays a key role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, leftist migrants who have suffered at the hands of regimes not aligned with the West often experience a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">double trauma<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of nationalist exclusion when they come to Canada: both in terms of the direct cruelty of borders and the racism, nationalism, and xenophobia of the states that those borders delimit, but also the indirect cruelty of voices erased and agency denied, when those migrants\u2019 fights against oppression and injustice at \u201chome\u201d do not single-mindedly centre the perceived \u201cmain enemy\u201d of Canadian anti-imperialist and anti-war activists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not to say that all the ideas of diasporic communities ought to shape socialist politics. Often it is the elite and sometimes reactionary elements in the diaspora that are elevated in the mainstream media. They can reflect politics that assert Western innocence, advance an essentialist \u201cclash of civilizations\u201d narrative, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevolcano.org\/2019\/10\/11\/ubc-rally-in-support-of-hong-kong-defends-canadian-colonialism\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">erase or diminish histories of Canadian colonialism and imperialism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and energize right-wing Canadian nationalism. Like most communities, diasporas are politically heterogeneous and diverse. Yet this heterogeneity represents an opportunity for the left to reach out and amplify progressive diasporic voices as a counterpoint to elite reaction, and to articulate links between the oppressions people are struggling against domestically and abroad. Only through this kind of outreach, and by a clear-eyed and truthful engagement with our different conceptions of \u201chome\u201d and how they inform our political priorities, can we lay a fertile ground for discussion, political education, and internationalist solidarity to take root and grow.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21e3c6a3 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"21e3c6a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-sun\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d104c49 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d104c49\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Vincent Wong is a lawyer and PhD candidate at Osgoode Hall Law School, where he researches racial capitalism and undocumented labour.
