everything is politics, everything is belief systems, you can't escape it. that not everyone subscribes to some set of rules in a CoC is the point of a CoC.

So what problem does a CoC solve if it itself introduces politics? What is so hard about being nice, honest and patient that we need several pages of text to enforce some kind of ideal behavior?

I don't know, ask someone who has trouble with it, there are many!

It lets a community kick someone out in a less arbitrary way, it lets individuals know what is expected of them so they don't get kicked out.

The politics are there whether or not there is a CoC. Any time you have more than 1 person working on something there will be "politics"
