Reality of politics


Calculus does not necessarily able to provide a fixed assessment on Politics. To be honest, it can never will. Politics is made up of humans decision, not calculated numbers. Just like how the world is going by humans, not numbers. 

Human interest is the major driving force to the ongoing of politics. Calculus is great for economists or businesses, but not politics. 

Morality should be the playing part on politics, as the only reason politicians paid for is to take care of the people's need. That's why, for now, people who support Donald Trump as a president, due to his being a successful businessmen in which people believe he would be greatly able to carry out governance of a government is the most ridiculous reasoning. 

Those people who believe in this way of reasoning is a bit absurd. Politics is not an easy task, it is a highly intellectual position which resulting on a decision making process that should balance everything according to people's interest. 

This is the reason why I agreed with Plato's suggestion on preferring philosophers to be the most highly eligible to be politicians, instead of businessmen. 

Therefore, it is a truth universally acknowledged that businessmen are only after one interest which is making money. That is, rationally speaking, the absolute opposition to the interest of politicians. 

In reality, however, it is practically never applied because that is just a natural law. Human is born with lust and each individual has different measure on struggling to achieve their own of lustness. 

This hungry for money is as well the driving force to the rotation of economy. But it shouldn't be achieved in an extreme ideology since it will lead to the economic gap between society and widen the gap between the poor and the rich. 

The wealth of the rich businessmen is actually happened to be from supposedly the poor's basic needs. In this case, not only happened in cases such as the 1% v. 99% notions, but also how those referred countries, where its sources are based on less-developed countries, monopolized economically the system in which they benefit the most resulting in classifying those countries as developing and third world countries. 

Go back again to Donald Trump, it is proven perfectly how as a president, he doesn't have any fixed principle on political matters almost entirely. This is the reason why he is the actual buffoon as well as those people who support him. Although in more rationally speaking and taking into account the political interest, he is just the puppet to the people who gives him money the most. 

This is the reason why being great in economics or as a businessmen doesn't equivalent on being great in politics. As I said again, it is a ridiculous reasoning. These hungry-for-money people or so-called greedy people are only care for making profits, not political matters, let alone the civilians. 

On the other hand, in reality politicians are hardly actually live up to the expectations of the people. Politicians are mostly self-centered individuals who are hungry for power. In almost every country, the struggle in politics is not about struggle to implement the welfare of the people, but rather as struggle between politicians to achieve highest authority and obtained power. 

This is the actual definition of politics in reality. 

So now, who should we put the blame the most? economics or politicians? none. We cannot blame identity that is attached for the sake of an occupation. Just like blaming Islam for ISIS, that is fucking non sense. The problem always lies on the individual's interpretation and behaviour.
