Introduction to Sociology / Politics / SUBIN KIM


1. SUMMARY
  Politics refers to the process of making social or economic decisions. Not only is it confined to the government's actions, but it is always observed in the interaction of a group of people gathered together.
  Politics follows power, authority, and violence.
  The power of politics is the ability to influence the behavior of others with resistance. Authority is often used in the same meaning of power. But authority is founded on legitimacy entirely different to power. Especially, modern society shows authority by resorting to legal authority. Also, the government has the right to use violence. Since it is only possible to use the right to infringe upon legal rights, there is a question of whether there is authority if there is no right to use violence.

  1. I think the reason for the collapse of communism is as follows. It seems possible to say that the means of production are not owned by individuals but jointly owned, but it is not possible in practice. The existence of a state is more like an idea than a reality. Even if the state owns the means of production, it is the person who actually maintains and distributes it. So there will be minority groups that control the means of production of the whole country in the name of the state and they will hold power. Communism is also very hostile to the capitalists of capitalism. The existence of communist society, and further expansion, Crab is a disaster. Therefore, the capitalists constantly interfere with the provocations and provocations to eliminate the communist society, and the communist countries are forced to cope with the expansion of the defense budget and collapse.
