In my paper dictionary, politics is "ideas and activities relating to gaining and using power in a country, city etc." However, I do not agree with it. I think the real politics is about people, about creating a better society.
In ancient China, the Emperor's most concern was how to strength his "political power", how to remain sited in the throne and how to pass his throne safely to one of his sons. Many very famous politicians were using any kind of methods trying to fool people to obey the Emperor, because they know the power come from people.
There are many different political systems around the globe. There are capitalism, socialism, communism etc. Is there one that is definitely better than others? Maybe there is. Maybe different political systems suit in different culture in different time. If nobody believe in logic, how do you teach science to them?
I believe in liberty and justice. And I believe that people believe them at first. But just you know, it is not like a clean slate out there.
