OK I get it Kim Jong Un is a politician, the military Junta in Myanmar are politicians just like Angela Merkel is a politician
No difference gotcha👍

There are ways to enact political change. Enacting political change doesn’t necessarily make you a politician. Using violence to achieve your goals kinda discounts your politician status. It’s like turning up to a ping pong match with a pistol and threatening your opponent. You may have won the game but no one will call you a great ping pong player.

No difference

The difference is between "important" and "good". It's pretty much a feature rather than a bug that good politicians are rarely important and important politicians are rarely good. From a classical liberal perspective, one might say that the less important politicians are, the better it is for everybody.

When you say “classical liberal perspective” do you mean Mills version or the modern innuendo for raving fascist?

Also..sorry I edited my post as you posted your response to add the pingpong bit.
