I don't know if my understanding is correct:
Political science studies the law of the generation, distribution and use of power (or right). Politics is the product of social activities. As long as social activities exist, politics will inevitably exist. Ethnic issues are an inevitable discussion in politics and an external manifestation of the law of political rights.
Power comes from people's differences in society, and there are many standards to divide these differences. For example, the simplest is gender. In a patriarchal society, men have more power than women. There are many other criteria: race, family, violence, knowledge, economy and so on. Some standards are born out of fear and remain unchanged for life, such as the division of race and family, while others can be changed after tomorrow, such as knowledge and violence. The higher the degree of social civilization, the greater the weight of variable division, and everyone can get more benefits than uncivilized society through their own efforts. But such standards exist objectively, whether they are changeable or unchangeable. In this book, power is defined as the consent of everyone's behavior (if they are willing and consciously obey, they will be transformed into authority). What embodies a person's strength? My own understanding is the degree of interest possession and distribution, including material and intangible. When the distribution of benefits is orderly, it becomes a system. The system exists, so does the country. So we see that the state designs various systems to distribute power in social life, so different people (formerly called classes) get different benefits. This is the state system and the state of all classes in the country. In order to ensure the realization of status, there are forms of government and state power. On the surface, these are ideology, that is, the concept of system design, and also reflect the meanings of words such as autocracy and democracy. When people recognize the system designed by this country's government, it shows the legitimacy of political power and embodies the moral rationality and inevitability of a political power.
Politics is regular and objective, which is my greatest feeling after reading this book. The so-called general trend of the world, long-term division will be combined, long-term division will be combined. I think this kind of social life has at least two characteristics. First, there is no turning arrow before opening the bow. History is advancing, and there is no turning back. For example, you may not like your major when you volunteered in college, but after reading it, you may find that you are also suitable, but in the end, you will find that your original ideals and goals have long since disappeared. And if you want to go back to the original road, you will find it difficult. Second, society is not running at an accelerated pace, and everything comes bit by bit. Socialism can develop commodity economy, which was put forward by Gu Zhun. Now we have established a market economy system. Maybe some things are undoubtedly unreasonable in our opinion, and there are better ways, but the result of rushing is that extremes meet. The law of politics lies in history and the immortality of other countries. What kind of system can bring what kind of results, almost unchanged. The system used is like a prescription library. We just need to take the medicine according to the prescription, but the most important thing is the diagnosis of the real disease. If you catch it right, you will become immortal; if you catch it wrong, you will become immortal; Catch the right person and live and work in peace and contentment; If you catch it wrong, you will lose your life.
There are still some small puzzles, and I found the answers through this book. In reality, at least what I see is: family, economic conditions, education, ability, identity and economic strength.
It is precisely because of the differences between people that we have more or less strength. There is no doubt that having more power will make our life more comfortable. So I come to the conclusion that we should not be marginalized at any time, and strive to stay in the circle in the constant division of power. Everyone can take you to eat, eat and wear. This is the difference between politics and ethics. Machiavelli said: "The distance between how people actually live and how people should live is so great that if a person forgets what is actually happening in order to do something, he will not save himself, but will lead to self-destruction."
