Revision as of 13:50, 26 March 2022
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.
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 
feudal 
monarchy, 
democratic 
republicanism, 
corporate 
capitalism, a 
marxist-leninist 
one-party state and even 
anarchism.
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.

Personality
Machiavellianism is very much... machiavellian in his behaviour. Generally very manipulative in such.
He is known for speaking to crowds in masks of whatever ideology's rhetoric he is using to get in 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
Status Quo ideologies love him, Non-Status Quo hate him. This is true no matter what ideologies those are.
REALISM GANG
Oligarchy - Nobody rules alone.
Kleptocracy - Is there any other reason to claim power?
Police Statism - Key of power.
Stratocracy - Another key of power, more important than the previous one.
Mediacracy - Good for keeping power in democracies.
Masks
Monarchism & 
Republicanism - Depending on the situation, as long as you work for and benefit me, you'll be fine. But Machiavelli liked the latter more.
Kakistocracy - Sometimes it can be useful to destroy my opponent's image, otherwise just an idiot with nothing to worry about.
Dengism - I like what I see here!
Populism - A broad front-appeal is a good way to get into power. I don't have to live up to my promises, though.
Semi-realist frenemies
Maoism - Love your way of diplomacy, but your internal policy was pure pathetic idealism.
Neoconservatism - Some of you (especially Kissinger) were pragmatists, but they had a cringe utopian goal of "world capitalist revolution".
ANTI-REALIST FREAKS
Satirism - STOP MOCKING ME!
Anti-Realism - Psychotic freak who wants to burn me alive.
Ingsoc - The only thing worse than a utopian mentality is a dystopian one.
