ENEMY OF THE WORLD
An Enemy of the People, was an 1882 play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, following his previous play, Ghosts, which criticized the hypocrisy of his society's moral code.
That response included accusations of both Ghosts and its author being "scandalous," "degenerate," and "immoral."
These were the criminals who perpetrated the massacres, from the foot soldiers who slit throats to the party's ideological leader.
