This is one of the points you were arguing against I disagree. Madara was in full control of his actions and made his decisions on his own. He genuinely wanted the Eye of the Moon Plan to happen. Madara technically got what he wanted. So yes, you were talking about what Madara wanted. Also, Madara wasn't really a pawn. He was in full control and knew exactly what he was doing. He was only back-stabbed (literally) after he activated Infinite Tsukuyomi. Madara wasn't manipulated by Black Zetsu in the way he manipulated Obito, so he can't be called a pawn.
