One of the crucial points of disagreement between Cicero and Machiavelli would be their interpretation of law. Cicero insists that “if we can’t agree to equalize men’s wealth, and equality of innate ability is impossible, the legal rights at least of those who are citizens of the “re publica” ought to be equal.”
Machiavelli’s response to this would be that the most able and wealthiest are in the position to create and interpret the law, and, therefore, equality is no more than a dream. He is going to point out that Cicero himself broke the law when it was necessary to ensure the survival of “his re publica”, which led to his infamous “silent enim leges inter arma”.
If Cicero, after that, tries to defend his position by appealing to exceptional cases, he must either accept the existence of something above law or admit that the law has irresolvable contradictions.
Imagine a grammar nazi who keeps talking about the correct usage of language, constantly making mistakes in his own speech. Now add that this hypocrite reinterprets grammar rules whenever he is corrected by another grammar nazi disguised as a grammar democrat. Suppose these two got married. This is the Roman Republic, iuris societas civium.
Shouldn’t the Roman proverb that “augurs can’t stop laughing at each other when they meet on the street” be extended to lawyers? Perhaps to anybody who speaks any language without knowing its tricky nature? All languages, and especially that which is the most powerful language in psychopolitics – whether it’s Cicero’s, Machiavelli’s or J. Peterson’s language –

are nothing but a set of arbitrary connections
between different sounds and signs
that reflect the dynamics of power relations
of its subjects, its Is (pronounced as eyes).

Wait until English is going to be put down by an “association of partnership in justice” naturally grown out of combined efforts of bloodthirsty (attention-seeking) languages that inhabit psychopolitics, and see what a new psychopolitical hegemon will do.
The death of Latin was not an accident. There is no need to resurrect it, but while ignoring it, we are doomed to remain arrogant fools, no matter how scientifically and progressively we are going to sound in English.
