Just read "The Concept of the Political" by Carl Schmitt and wondering if anyone else has and if they have what they thought about the whole political as such being basically a friend/enemy dynamic and his critique of liberal democracy.

Obviously its not really a leftist text (guy was a Nazi but wrote this before all that), but I find his critique of liberal democracy interesting but it is so tied to his conception of what is the political as such, its kinda infuriating especially because I feel like that conceptual understanding of the political is problematic in a few ways.

Guess I'm venting a bit, but wondering what anyone else thought of him
