Machiavelli wasn’t too bad, I mean The Prince is a pretty good handbook for a ruthless way of gaining power; at least he told the truth of what he was thinking. Logically, it somewhat pans out, especially since Machiavelli wasn’t concerned about a moral absolute in his writing such a book.

Then again, there is a movement now to cleanse Machiavelli’s reputation – there are people saying he wrote The Prince as a farce.
