"Machiavellianism" the meme is as it is actually understood in the vernacular, extremely close to the original and real sense of his writings, though. It is truer in this case, than it might otherwise be in most others. The simple fact that the associated name sounds weird, foreign, multisyllabic, has done much to secure the real understanding of the adjectival intent against misappropriation by dumb plebs, who if they are the inhabitants of a state that you have originally acquired by merit as like Moses or Romulus, then you ought show them favor thuswise the more easily to keep, or latterly otherwise if you have acquired such previously existing state, having already had its own previous Prince, with its plebs, like unto a limb to be attached to your current concern, then your advisable courses are either go to and to live in that new state, to extinguish the extant royal line there such as it is, or to refrain from abruptly altering the laws and forms to which the plebs are accustomed.
