On a podcast I heard someone say, “people don’t think about politics, they think about the conditions of their lives.”

While this may be true, we also need to understand that politics determines the conditions of our lives. Politics is making the decisions of how to organize our society, determining what systems to use, and establishing rules and policies.

If we don’t like the conditions of our lives, the solution is to change the system. It all comes down to how we organize, and that is politics.
