Revision as of 10:06, 5 July 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 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.
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 ideological rhetoric he is using to get in power.
How to Draw
![](/images/thumb/Macchiavelli_COA.svg/171px-Macchiavelli_COA.svg.png)
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, and Non-Status Quo hate him. This is true no matter what ideologies those are.
REALISM GANG
Oligarchy - Nobody rules alone.
Police Statism - Key of power.
Stratocracy - Another key of power, which is actually more important than the previous one.
Mediacracy - Good for keeping power.
Dengism - It does not matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
Bismarckism - It's been a while, my old friend. Shame your Kaiser let his juvenile ambition ruin what you had achieved.
Kemalism - "If we write doctrine, we freeze and stay where we are."
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.
Populism - A broad front-appeal is a good way to get into power. I don't have to live up to my promises, though.
Third Way
- Theory should appeal to all sides of the population, for the west you are perfect today.
Semi-realist frenemies
Maoism - Love your way of diplomacy, but your internal policy was pathetic idealism. At least
your son fixed your internal policy mistakes.
Neoconservatism - Some of you (especially Kissinger) were pragmatists, but you have a cringe utopian goal of "world capitalist revolution".
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".
Aristocracy - Your problem, my good prince, is exactly the opposite of the former one.
ANTI-REALIST FREAKS
Satirism - STOP MOCKING ME!
Anti-Realism - Psycho who wants to skin me alive.
Ochlocracy - "For the mob is always impressed by appearances and by results, and the world is composed of the mob."
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 are not required to reject it, only the leadership.
