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.

Foundations

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

Coat of Arms of Machiavellianism

Machiavellianism's design is based on the Machiavelli Coat of Arms.

  1. Draw a ball with eyes.
  2. In Blue Draw a Cross on the ball.
  3. 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.
  • Third Way - Probably the closest thing to pure pragmatism in the west today.

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 - Psycho who wants to skin me alive.
  • Ingsoc - The only thing worse than a utopian mentality is a dystopian one.
  • File:Ego.png Egoism - We have a lot in common actually. Morality does more harm than good, but citizens of the state shouldn't reject it, only the leader.
