It makes sense for people to be classified as foes if their goals are different from mine. I'm not going to count a neo-Nazi as in ally, and rather than garnering a victory for my side, we can see what a loss would be if white supremacists gain more power.

I really don't think identifying clear foes helps in any manner. Even if they hold dangerous views.

 

If you disagree strongly with something specific, argue against it, say why, exactly, you consider the position dangerous.

 

Don't dismiss the person, as a whole.

 

Just because someone holds a bad viewpoint on one topic, does not mean that their viewpoint cannot be changed, or that their opinion on other issues is necessarily without value.

That's assuming that they can be reasoned with. If they don't see the dangers in genocide, massacres, ethnic cleansing, expansionism, etc. what are we supposed to do?
