Life and politics, once marked by the “will of heaven” in determining the fate of half the world (Communist and Capitalist), have come to an end along with the conclusion of the Cold War. A new, shared hope has emerged to achieve the goal of shaping global politics. Life is no longer separated from the calculations and mechanisms of politics but shares the same desire: to pursue a better life. Life and politics are no longer detached. The effort to achieve a better life is carried out through various global and regional economic collaborations and free markets. However, the benefits cannot be equally enjoyed; each actor seeks to maximize their own gains from opportunities to increase profits. Strict regulations have thus become a constant process of interest-driven change, aligned with new interests, pushing the emergence of institutions embedded in political authority (the rulers, government, parliament, bureaucracy) to oversee market territories in order to standardize political and economic resources within the forces of production, as part of the effort to achieve continuous profit in the midst of free trade-through processes of overproduction and consumption. This article is a philosophical concept using normative research methods that engage in depth with various theoretical sources including Descartes, Foucault, Hegel, Weber and Bourdieu. How exactly is the consequence of “Politics”. That the consequence of politics is to direct human action, from all aspects of life. Every aspect of life whether in the fields of power, economy, culture and defense aims to persuasively anticipate themselves in the sovereignty of taking lives for maximum gain - where no one can act better without making others worse off. Each assumes the position of the zone of profit extraction and, at the same time, the consumer as a dumping ground - instead of politics leading in practice to a situation of letting die rather than being said to be a killer. Thus, what manifests in life today is a trajectory of physical and mental labor, which distorts the line between politics and death (quietus politic).
