If we start with a (very broad) definitin of "politics" as "power 
struggle in society" and if you accept that the way we think / are 
brought up to think entrench certain types of relationships of power in 
forms that arehave a determining influence on our way of conceptualising 
and therefore understanding the world, then "wordless political music" 
would be one that through the way of organising sound deconstructed 
these conceptual "givens".
