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.

It is important to note to two things: Firstly that Machiavellianism is not as much the strict believes of Niccolo Machiavelli, but rather the recognition of the realities Machiavelli acknowledged; 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.
