But for the good of the people and the state, we will have to fight for power. You do not think that the thieving officials, the government with gray cardinals prying each other and ambitious relatives will dissolve by themselves? No, of course not. Moreover, if they suddenly discover that a clever ruler has come to the throne due to some misunderstanding, he will be immediately poisoned so that he does not interfere with the budget. That is why a skilful sovereign from the cradle is trained to pretend to be an idiot for his own good, and he secretly grows with connections, it is encrypted that your rebel, one after another, sends political opponents one to the war, one to the chopping block, and who is simply quietly strangled in a brothel.

A skilful sovereign is a politician from God, capable of lifting a fallen country from its knees or strengthening the position of an already standing one. A talented administrator, economist, business executive and lawmaker. If in some way he is not so good, then he is quite capable of picking up a good and faithful assistant.

In big politics, a skilled sovereign feels like a fish in water, albeit very, very muddy. Under the nose of this ruler there is no place for embezzlers and bribe-takers; he does not let the bureaucratic officials get off the ground, but at the same time he does not cut from the shoulder and finds a compromise with the court.

His teaching contains certain advice that the leader needs to follow, he talks about generosity, fear, love and the manifestation of other qualities in management. Machiavelli sets the goals to which, in his opinion, the ruler is obliged to strive, and at the same time offers some ideal model of government and the ideal ruler of the country that will correspond to this scheme.

Power Power, according to Machiavelli, should belong to those who managed to seize it. Machiavelli considers the issue of state defense against internal and external enemies. Machiavelli proposed using only two weapons against the enemy: a strong army and successful political alliances. When conducting foreign policy, the philosopher advises the sovereign to rely not only on his own strength and intelligence, but also on the "animal" cunning. A ruler who strives for success, Machiavelli taught to coordinate his actions, firstly, with the laws of necessity (fate), and secondly, with the behavior of his subordinates.

Religion Machiavelli was well aware of the power of religion, its power over the hearts and minds of believers, so he called for the use of this power for the common good, especially for the unification and strengthening of the state itself. But the philosopher recognized only the exclusively practical benefits that are inherent in religion. Religion, according to Machiavelli, should bind society into a single whole, and the sovereign should be perceived by his people as a religious person.

A strong state is possible only when there are no civic virtues among the people. Today the Machiavellian concept of the cyclical development of state forms (democracy - oligarchy - aristocracy - monarchy) has not lost its relevance. Monarchy easily turns into tyranny, aristocracy turns into oligarchy, etc. The cyclical development of forms of government resembles the idea of ​​circulation, mutual circulation of evil and good.

The philosopher is sure that a strong power in a state is created on the basis of a firmly existing foundation of power. Machiavelli accepts violent methods of struggle, conditioning violence by the creation of artificial necessity: "The sovereign should have no other thoughts, no other concerns, no other matter than war, military institutions and military science."

"Sovereign" Machiavelli In his famous treatise "Sovereign", he systematized and characterized the essence of politics. The state, according to Machiavelli's definition, is the highest manifestation of the human spirit, and service to the state is the meaning and happiness of human life. Machiavelli argued that a sovereign should be neither virtuous, nor generous, nor honest to ensure the integrity and well-being of his state. The ruler will perish if he is always merciful and honest. If external and internal conditions do not make the sovereign strict and disciplined, the state will cease to exist.
