unspeakablehorrorI think any individual's approach to politics is going to be considerably flawed due to the limitations of individuals. Therefore, properly formulating and implementing one's politics requires collaboration with others. This is obviously true since the structures of society cannot be formulated, built, and enforced by one person alone.
A good implementation of politics requires:
1. An understanding of the theory of your own politics, but also the politics of others.
2. an understanding of history, lest you be doomed to repeat its mistakes.
3. an understanding of the present, to know how to confront the problems you are faced with.
4. knowing how to build the systems and structures that will accomplish your political goals.
One person can only know so much of this. The challenge is how to collaborate effectively so that a group can be greater than the sum of its parts instead of worse than the sum of its parts.
