Machiavellianism also called (Political) Opportunism or Realism is a type of politics which 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, that being actions done for political gain.
