If this is correct, why do we even need politics?

 Politics were originally created as a way to make decisions within groups and organize power relations among individuals for the distribution of resources and status. Early political activities involved forming factions or parties to rally support for specific policies, unify like-minded individuals, and increase political influence practically. Historically, politics emerged from debates over governance structures, such as the formation of the United States Constitution, where factions like Federalists and Anti-Federalists formed around views of national versus state power. Politics aimed to create organized governance, facilitate cooperation, and resolve conflicts within societies, from small tribes to modern states.reddit+2

This makes it sound like it's just a form of narcissism or seeking social status, and what do politicians usually seek rather than help their constituents?  Money and Power.  Thats one thing that is true, the love of money is the root of all evil and those in power, once they get a taste of it, never want to lose it so it corrupts all it touches.
