Power and politics

Power and politics

Power and politics are interrelated because politics is a means of gaining power, while power makes it easier to influence the wishes and desires of others through politics, or power makes it easier to do one's own favorable politics. However, literally, power and politics are words with different meanings.
Power means that any person or group can make another person or group act according to their wishes and desires. Thus suppressing another person's desire, desire and own desire, favorable behavior is power, and this power is known as power.If power is recognized on a legal, statutory or consensual basis, it is called power. Politics is the way or means of getting power.

Sociological Imagination of Karl marx about Power and Politics

Karl Marx divides the society into haves and haves not or industrial society and those two classes (Economic power/ politics) come to struggle on the basis of power and politics. In the course of this struggle, the bourgeoisie becomes united among the capitalists, while the proletariat and the proletariat also unite with each other and the society is completely divided into two classes, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and they struggle. In the end, the proletariat will win. Capitalists often use their power over the proletariat for reasons of money. Although the working class suppresses their desires and wishes, they are forced to act according to their wishes and desires due to the power of the capitalists. Thus capitalists are always exploiting the working class under the guise of money power. In the same way, the capitalists start using the politics of the state in their own way. In Marx's opinion, the capitalists use the power of their capital to use the country's administrators to suit their own interests. Marx emphasized the economy/ economic side because the economy/ economic side is strong and the capitalists exploit the proletariat in a complete way.
(Sociological Imagination of Weber about Power Politics)

Max Weber, a scholar who plays an important role as one of the Fourth Founding Fathers of sociology, has made a concept about power and politics. Weber explains power by relating it to power. In general, power means that social position which can control the wishes and desires of another person in spite of the opposition of a person or group. More simply, power is the ability to impose one's orders on one's followers according to one's wishes.
Every person/ group has power but the amount varies. According to Max Weber, if the power in a person or group can be used in the right way according to the ability, it will have a positive effect on the society, but if the power is misused in an unnecessary situation, then it will have a negative effect on the society.
Weber said that power should be connected with power. According to him, if power can be used logically or legally, then there will be no opposition even in political situations. He said that there will be three types of power in the society: traditional power, miraculous power and legal power

He said that the power will be connected with the power, not independently. Weber's belief is that power can be transformed into power not independently, resulting in social action.

The characteristics of Power can be mentioned as follows:
• Power is always binding.
• . Force can also be used in Power.
• Power is temporary in nature.
• Power is used for the collective good.
