Machiavelli is not someone you should be taking lessons from on anything. You can do so much better than The Prince to understand how modern democracy should be operating.
We don’t let a hereditary monarch call all the shots anymore. Machiavelli is irrelevant and frankly poor advice.
to sum up:
Machiavelli right. Political institutions don’t serve people.
