I would definitely change the wording on this from naming the country, to referring to its people, because yeah, those states are enemies to their own people and to others, like all states (to varying degrees, but still), but we have more in common with an Iranian, Russian or Chinese individual than we do with a billionaire or even multi millionaire from any country
Also there is no denying the class war is a vital one, but it is not the only one by a long shot, and class reductionism will only ever keep us from uniting to fight all of the wars that need fighting before we can be free (the war against white supremacy, the war against the patriarchy, the war against abled supremacy, the war against hetero-cis supremacy, and so on. If we only fight a class war, all of those remain, and those of us impacted will still be oppressed)
