Well, it is along with a position on a leadership style.
It is the government that is frequently required to be involved in economic matters. The best and last real example of the proper place of government within the economy was when it was made illegal to create monopolies.
Everything regarding politics from this point has been a convoluted mess that makes it difficult to see what the actual role of government is or should be.
Most of what we consider political discussion isn't actually a political subject, which demonstrates that many people have a much more authoritarian political position.
To say politics is merely your thoughts on economics and leadership is pure ideology. How can you prove it scientifically? Can you prove it philosophically?
It is an arbitrary and loaded premise. If Aristotelian logic demonstrated anything, it's that if logic proceeds from a false premise, then its entire structure falls apart.
There is no reason to accept that redefinition of politics which I'm pretty sure would have been totally foreign to Aristotle and pretty much any of the ancient political thinkers.
That's a made-up redefinition, no less made-up than 120 genders.... if you want to accept arbitrary, made-up concepts as reality you can do so but that's a biased and arbitrary redefinition of politics. Can anyone name any thinker previous to the 20th century who believed that? Like I said, that sounds like Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher type thinking. That's something relatively recent that was made up. You can accept an arbitrary premise if you want to but it's a house built on sand.
