As Antonio Gramsci argued, ruling groups maintain power partly by making their ideas seem like common sense. This helps explain the political significance of Metallica’s call for disengagement at a time when Israel’s genocide in Palestine demands urgent international attention. Hetfield’s vague agenda of “love, energy and heavy music” ultimately amounts to a refusal to stand for anything meaningful. And that refusal is itself deeply political.
I think politics is when a group of even two people form a system for working together. A marriage is a political organisation.
I think political agreement or pairing would be a better term. Organization at least to me implies far more people than two, unless they are polyamorous then it’s 100 percent a political organization.
