Maybe definitions are important. Merriam Webster defines politics in relation to the government and nations: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/politics
I found these definitions on Wikipedia:
Harold Lasswell: "who gets what, when, how"
David Easton: "the authoritative allocation of values for a society"
Vladimir Lenin: "the most concentrated expression of economics"
Otto von Bismarck: "the capacity of always choosing at each instant, in constantly changing situations, the least harmful, the most useful"
Bernard Crick: "a distinctive form of rule whereby people act together through institutionalized procedures to resolve differences"
Adrian Leftwich: "comprises all the activities of co-operation, negotiation and conflict within and between societies"

Laswell and Easton are correct
Crick sounds too optimistic. He needs new medication: generic drug called reality. Comes in pills 💊. Side effect is bitter. Difficult to swallow.
