"Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being"

This quote by Kate Millett recommends that politics is not a means of producing real modification, but rather a cycle of repetition. Politics is typically seen as a way to cause change, however Millett suggests that it is inadequate. Change is something that exceeds politics, and is the supreme objective of politics. Politics is a method to an end, which end is modification. Millett suggests that politics is not the end objective, however rather a tool to produce genuine modification. Politics is a needed part of the process, but it is insufficient to bring about the sort of modification that is required. Change is something that must originate from within, and politics is the methods to bring it about.
