尼可罗·马基雅维利:君主论·摘录 30
尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 领导 · 人性 · 财富 · 行动
But coming to the other point—where a leading citizen becomes the prince of his country, not by wickedness or any intolerable violence, but by the favour of his fellow citizens—this may be called a civil principality: nor is genius or fortune altogether necessary to attain to it, but rather a happy shrewdness. I say then that such a principality is obtained either by the favour of the people or by the favour of the nobles. Because in all cities these two distinct parties are found, and from this it arises that the people do not wish to be ruled nor oppressed by the nobles, and the nobles wish to rule and oppress the people; and from these two opposite desires there arises in cities one of three results, either a principality, self-government, or anarchy.

白话
靠同胞支持当上君主,既非靠恶行也非靠暴力,可称为“公民君主国”。这不需要天才或好运,更需要一种机敏。这种支持要么来自人民,要么来自贵族。城市里总有这两派:人民不想被贵族统治和压迫,贵族想统治和压迫人民。这两种相反的欲望导致三种结果:君主国、自治或无政府状态。想靠支持上位,就得看清自己站在哪一边,并理解两派诉求根本对立。
