My Enemies’ Enemy is not Necessarily My Friend in Philosophy. It is this idea (my enemies enemy is my friend) that turns people into useful idiots – think Animal Farm. Just because conservatives and the religious right are against liberals (socialists) does not mean they are my friends. Just because the ideas of the Scottish Enlightenment opposed Marism, does not make them my friend. Just because Austrian Economics opposes Keynesian economics, does not make them my friend.
