Loony. — unless it is purely political, of course.

It's not purely political as it is being used to advance other agendas. Reps and DEMs both work for the same people, and it isn't us.

ReplyDeletePolitics is about gaining and wielding power. The objective of gaining power is to wield it.
So that you mention is also political, but in a somewhat different way.
One way is oriented to gaining power when you are out and maintaining when you are in. Another way is oriented to wielding power. One holds power when in but then the opposition does its best to prevent one from using it as desired.

ReplyDeleteRight. I was being snarky.
Which leads us straight to Clausewitz and a rather broad definition of 'politics'.

ReplyDeleteRight. Geopolitics is obviously not about gaining power through elections.
Domestic "politics" in liberal democracies is about competing factions in elections. But there are also other dimensions of politics related to power operative domestically, and liberal democracy is not the only form of government.
Where power affects or controls relationships, there is always "politics," even in families. Politics is about the dynamics of power.
Geopolitics is about gaining, maintaining and extending power.
Therefore, politics in the broad sense is integral to dialectical logic, which is based on oppositional forces and complementarity.
