It's the other way around.

Politics is that which fills the space when violence and scarcity do not dominate psychic considerations.

Political discussions can only occur in a context where there are human rights, where human beings in authoritative positions adhere to laws and rules related to their jobs.

Public talk that defends the systemic, ungoverned practice of violence is not political, it's propaganda (and worse).

Human rights comes first. Then politics.

Cheers.
