What are the best books on Chinese Legalism? And is it worth reading over Machiavelli?

孔子 more like 空子

/lit/ told me Legalism was ebil. After reading it, it's perhaps the most based political philosophy ever conceived. It's so practical, it co-ops Taoism to justify totalitarianism.

>Tao is the beginning of the myriad things, the standard of right and wrong. That being so, the intelligent ruler, by holding to the beginning, knows the source of everything, and, by keeping to the standard, knows the origin of good and evil. Therefore, by virtue of resting empty and reposed, he waits for the course of nature to enforce itself so that all names will be defined of themselves and all affairs will be settled of themselves.

Taoism and Legalism go together better and Confucianism is gay.

That larper doesn't even stand a chance

There is no dao and way, there is only shi and those lacking the fa and shu to seek it.

Point me to them

the enlightened ruler reposes in nonaction above, and below his ministers tremble
