About This Quote
All concepts of politics, of whatever kind, are about conflictâ’”€â”€how to contain it, or abolish it. In other words, politics is a very important aspect of social life. Without it, there would be no division of power and no division in the society. However, in order to have a division in the society, one needs to have a division in the government.
Similarly, without a division in the government there would be no division in the society. Hence, a division is the crux of the matter.
