Class enemy is a term used in communism to refer to a person or social group of people who are seen as "enemies" of the revolution. Class enemies of communism - in the traditional sense before Stalin ran away with it - would be the upper and Middle classes of society, rich, land-owning people who were referred to as the Bourgeoisie. As cited above, Stalin went completely awol with the idea of class enemies, and used this as an excuse to systematically orchestrate the killing of millions of his own countrymen throughout the 1930s.
