Comment on YSK that Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified.
What does he argue?
I think it was originally meant to be satire? I could be misremembering though.
No, I’m literally asking what he says; I’ve not read Machiavelli.
There’s one dude saying “that’s what Machiavelli said!” then another saying “no it isn’t you cockforest” and now you saying that what he said is satirical.
But what did he say?

Aha. Thank you.
That honestly just reads like a modern political playbook. Literally, in some places.
Man I hate the world. I just want to be left alone in a hut in the forest.
