Radio Philosophy #042 – POWER ETHICS.

Nicolo Machiavelli.
Creator of Machiavellism.
That is about generating and preserving power.
It works as follows:
Having no moral principles.
But pretending to have them.
Pretending piety.
Pretending integrity.
Pretending honesty.
For the ruler, everything is permitted.
Dissimilation.
Vileness
.
Lies.
But you have to keep up the pretence of integrity.
There is only one thing the ruler must not do.
Take away from the people
what they consider their property.
They will never forgive.
Same old story: Agenda 2010.
