Answer:
Politics is the way that people living in groups make decisions. Politics is about making agreements between people so that they can live together in groups such as tribes, cities, or countries
Explanation:
The liberal view of politics is based on rights. Everyone has equal rights; the government protects individuals rights; everyone is free and has liberty to do anything that does not violate someone else's right.
Democrats and republicans are both liberal.
Democrats tend to protect civil rights, women's rights, workers rights, etc.
Republicans tend to protect
businesses and individuals from taxation .
Marx's view of politics was very different: he wasn't interested in politics, but rather political economy. Marx believed the economy dictated politics, not vice versa.
Marx predicted that the employees would vastly outnumber employers, kill them all and usher in the end of history; a stateless, propertyless, communist utopia.
He believed this to be "logic of history". In other words, there is nothing for people to do, it just happens by itself.
So far, Marx has not been right.
I hope this will help you : )
