Question

We usually engage in economic activities, do we also engage in political activities?

Answer 1

I understand your question is about how voluntary these activities are. I belive it depends in how you define them.

If by economic activities you include any sort of transaction for goods or services, then buying and bartering would be part of economic activities and engaging in them would not only be usual but inevitable and constant for all except for hermits perhaps.

If by political activities you take a restricted perspective, that is a political activity is "what politicians do" then most people would not be directly engaged in them. But if you define politics from a wider perspective, that includes participating in school or neighborhood committees or action groups or keeping informed, then many people would be engaged in political activities.

That would only leave us the need to define how political is the act of accepting current state of affairs by refusing to speak up or do something about it. If you consider that not voting or not expressing your disagreemen will have as an effect that things will be decided by others, isn't that a political statement after all?
