Machiavelli believed in a balanced form of leadership. This balance was between cruelty and mercy.With too much mercy, people could revolt and take over the government. However, with too much cruelty, your people will fear you and possibly lead to a failing government, economy, and social structure.
Machiavelli viewed Plato's philosophy as idealistic and impractical for political governance. He believed that Plato's emphasis on moral virtue and ideal forms was not realistic when dealing with the complexities of real-world politics. Machiavelli instead focused on the pragmatic application of power and necessity in his political works.
He was a realist and believed that governments should act and respond to what is actually going on in the world as opposed to vague moral or historical precepts.
