Niccolo Machiavelli was, at his time, the forerunner of social engineering. The sophomoric state of the people of the era possibly needed its shepherd but in these modern times? A MAN LIKE MACHIAVELLI SHOULD BE STRUNG UP BY HIS OWN ENTRAILS! The free-flow of information is what is needed for today and machiavellianist principles would promote a suppression of that ideal. In short, Machiavelli was a scoundrel of the worst sort.
