New first guest-Niccolo Machiavelli-I keep coming with dead people.hummmm

No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed
from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.
—Machiavelli from The Art of War
.
Machiavelli was mainly concerned with "republics," defined as states controlled by a politically active citizenry. In "Discourses" he emphasized that for a republic to survive, it needed to foster a spirit of patriotism and civic virtue among its citizens. Machiavelli argued that a republic would be strengthened by the conflicts generated through open political participation and debate.

Partly because Machiavelli's pragmatic view of the relationship between ethics and politics, he has been widely misinterpreted. The adjective "Machiavellian" has become a pejorative used to describe a politician who manipulates others in an opportunistic and deceptive way.
