Kissinger made two trips to China in July and October 1971 (the first of which was made in secret) to confer with Premier [[File:ZhouEnlai.png]] Zhou Enlai, which resulted in the withdrawal of US troops from Taiwan, and the recognition of the PRC on the UN Security Council at expense of [[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] the Republic of China's representation at the UN.

Machiavellianism also called (Political) Opportunism or Realism is a type of politics that primarily focuses on acquiring and maintaining political power from a "selfish" standpoint. In a way, Machiavellianism can be said to be an ideology focused entirely on the political concept of praxis.
It is important to note two things: Firstly that Machiavellianism is not as much the strict beliefs of Niccolo Machiavelli, but rather the recognition of the realities Machiavelli studied; and secondly that Machiavellianism can be found in any and all socio-political systems, be it Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination feudal Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination monarchy, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination democratic Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination republicanism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination corporate Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination capitalism, a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination marxist-leninist Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination one-party state and even Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination anarchism, etc.
History
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli more well known as just Niccolo Machiavelli was a Florentian diplomat as well as a writer and a philosopher.
Foundations
Machiavellians are not consistent ideologically. They seek to achieve a selfish goal and get the necessary power to do it.
Variants

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Kissingerism
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Henry Kissinger is a German-born American politician, diplomat, and geopolitical consultant who served as United States Secretary of State and National Security Advisor under the presidential administrations of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Richard Nixon and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Gerald Ford (1969-1974, 1974-1977). A Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Jewish refugee who fled Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Nazi Germany with his family in 1938 to Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination the US where he was drafted into the US army in 1943. Kissinger was assigned to the military intelligence sector of the 84th Infantry Division and came to see combat in the division as the US-allied forces advanced into Germany, the country he and his family had fled from. Kissinger was eventually reassigned to the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC), where he became a CIC Special Agent assigned to tracking down Gestapo officers and other saboteurs, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star. After his service in the US army in WWII, Kissinger would come to play an important role in shaping US foreign policy during the Cold War.
Henry Kissinger played an important role in ending US involvement in the Vietnam War. Kissinger was very skeptical of US involvement in the war as it seemed near impossible to find an agreement that would suit both Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination the Communists of North Vietnam and the US-backed government of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination South Vietnam.
When he came into office as National Security Advisor under President Richard Nixon in 1969, Kissinger favored a negotiating strategy under which the US and North Vietnam would sign an armistice and agree to pull their troops out of South Vietnam while the South Vietnamese government and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination the Viet Cong were to agree to a coalition government. However, because of the conflict of interest between Nixon and Kissinger, and the North and South Vietnamese governments, US involvement in the Vietnam War would continue until the mid-1970s. Henry Kissinger along with Vietnamese communist revolutionary Lê Đức Thọ was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on December 10, 1973, for their work in negotiating the ceasefires contained in the Paris Peace Accords on "Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam." However, Thọ rejected the award as he argued that peace had not been achieved, and after the Fall of Saigon Kissinger attempted the return his award as well.
Henry Kissinger is perhaps most known for his contributions to US-China Relations which helped Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination the People's Republic of China's current rise as a superpower. The motive for the diplomatic outreach to communist China had its ground in the Sino-Soviet Split that happened in the 1950s-1960s because of ideological differences between Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Mao Zedong and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Khrushchev. The US government under Nixon sought to exploit this rift between the two largest communist countries to advance its own geopolitical agenda.
Kissinger made two trips to China in July and October 1971 (the first of which was made in secret) to confer with Premier Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Zhou Enlai, which resulted in the withdrawal of US troops from Taiwan, and the recognition of the PRC on the UN Security Council at expense of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination the Republic of China's representation at the UN. His trips paved the way for the groundbreaking 1972 summit between Nixon, Zhou, and Mao, as well as the formalization of relations between the two countries, ending over two decades of diplomatic isolation and mutual hostility.
Henry Kissinger has continued to act as a mediator between the US and China to this day. He was one of the few prominent US politicians who opposed imposing sanctions on China in the wake of the Tiananmen Massacre of 1989.
Henry Kissinger is infamous for his support for anti-communist dictatorships to stop the spread of communism. As National Security Advisor under Nixon, he supported Pakistani dictator, General Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Yahya Khan, in the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. Kissinger actively participated in the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination CIA's destabilization and sabotage of Chilean Socialist Party member Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Salvador Allende's presidential campaign and presidency through various coup attempts, elections interference, and sanctions that would result in the 1973 Chilean coup d'état and General Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Augusto Pinochet's rise to power.
As Secretary of the State under President Gerald Ford, he supported the Argentine Military dictator Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Jorge Rafael Videla's Dirty War against left-wing opposition and backed Indonesian dictator and President Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Suharto's invasion of East Timor and its subsequent genocide. Kissinger was also actively involved in negotiations regarding the Rhodesian Bush War. Kissinger, along with South Africa's Prime Minister Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination B.J. Vorster, pressured Rhodesian Prime Minister Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Ian Smith to hasten the transition to black majority rule in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Rhodesia.
Interestingly, Henry Kissinger unlike most modern-era military interventionists and neocons such as John McCain, Anthony Blinken, Samantha Power, etc have remained on friendly terms with Russian President Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Vladimir Putin. During the 2022 Russian invasion of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Ukraine, Kissinger went so far as to suggest that Ukraine should give up territory to Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Russia to end the war.
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Zhou Enlai Thought
WIP
Personality
Machiavellianism is very much... Machiavellian in his behavior. Generally very manipulative in such.
He is known for speaking to crowds in masks of whatever ideological rhetoric he is using to get into power.
How to Draw
Machiavellianism's design is based on the Machiavelli Coat of Arms.
- Draw a ball with eyes.
- In Blue Draw a Cross on the ball.
- Draw 4 needles pointing at the center of the cross.
And you're done!
Relationships
REALISM GANG
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Oligarchy - Nobody rules alone.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Police Statism - Key of power.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Stratocracy - Another key of power, which is actually more important than the previous one.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Mediacracy - Good for keeping power.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Bismarckism - It's been a while, my old friend. Shame your Kaiser let his juvenile ambition ruin what you had achieved.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Kemalism - "If we write doctrine, we freeze and stay where we are."
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Progressive Conservatism & Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Radical Centrism - I like how you counteract those annoying ideologues.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Dengism - It does not matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
Shame Xi became dogmatically culturally conservative.
Masks
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Monarchism & Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Republicanism - Depending on the situation, as long as you work for and benefit me, you'll be fine.
But Machiavelli liked the latter more. - Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Populism - A broad-front appeal is a good way to get into power. I don't have to live up to my promises, though.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Third Way Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination - Theory should appeal to all sides of the population, for the west you are perfect today.
Semi-realist frenemies
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Maoism - Love your way of diplomacy, but your internal policy was pathetic idealism. At least Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination your son fixed your internal policy mistakes. Zhou Enlai was, however, mega-based and created the path for your son to take over China.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Neoconservatism - Some of you (especially Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Kissinger) were pragmatists, but you have a cringe utopian goal of "world capitalist revolution".
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Kleptocracy - While I did say a prince should know how to do evil, the premise is "As far as he can, a prince should follow the path of good".
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Aristocracy - Your problem, my "good" prince, is exactly the opposite of the former one.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Putinism - You were way more based in the past when you attempted good relations with the west. Sadly, your war in Ukraine and anti-gay dogma ruined everything.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Hydrarchy -
THE DREAMS OF PIRATES... WILL NEVER END!Depends. Sometimes I can hire him to do my dirty work as a privateer, which moralists fear to do. Sometimes he's just a criminal who wants to steal my stuff.
ANTI-REALIST FREAKS
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Satirism - STOP MOCKING ME!
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anti-Realism - Psycho who wants to light me on fire.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Ochlocracy - "For the mob is always impressed by appearances and by results, and the world is composed of the mob."
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Ingsoc - The only thing worse than a utopian mentality is a dystopian one.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Kraterocracy - Every might makes right! Not just physical!
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarcho-Egoism - We have a lot in common actually. Morality and dogma do more harm than good, but citizens of the state are not required to reject it, only the leadership.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Left Communism - This is pure dogma and no praxis at all.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Maoism–Third Worldism & Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Pol Potism - Maoism has just lost all redeeming qualities and jumped into the cliff of pure idealism.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Hoxhaism - Another dogmatic ML who called anyone even slightly to the right of him a 'revisionist'.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Trotskyism - Permanent Worldwide Revolution sounds like a dogmatic nightmare that luckily won't ever come true.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Theocrats - Stop forcing your dogma on everyone.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination State Atheism - You too buddy. You're literally just trying to fight dogma with dogma.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarcho-Nihilism - While you understand that idealism should not be relied on, you chose to be a lazy doomer instead of a schemer like me.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Neoluddism - Why won't you work for me? I can help with your extreme environmental concerns by dealing with industrialists to eventually curb all harm to animals and to the environment. But no! You keep using your dogma to kill others just because they support development! You should be ashamed of yourself!
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Soulism - Quit your weed-induced ideology of pure idealism and come back to reality for once.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Chamberlainism - I repeat what I have already said, namely that you should never let yourself be driven off-course by your desire to avoid a war because in such a case you won’t avoid it but will merely postpone it to your disadvantage.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Kakistocracy - Either a useful idiot or an obstacle to proper governance.
