If you haven't read Plato's Republic, then you are not educate

I assure you that my ancestry is 100% pure white german, unlike those dirty greeks.

It was very noticeable during the run up to the Trump election. A scandal, or a breaking event would be posted here and on 4chan, then Reddit and there would be a few hour delay while centralized authority decided to come up with a command 0(((talking points))) for the drones to follow, and then twitter would light up with hundreds of thousands of tweets, and the shills would flood the chans but during the 4 to 8 hours preceding that, nothing from the drones at all.

The Symposium.
Plato has Socrates depict philosophical eros as explicitly heterosexual, and depicts the characters praising homosexual behavior as immature, intemperate, and otherwise defective (with the sole exception of Aristophanes, whose speech isn't to be taken at face value).

Plato talks about them too:
Jews and their drones. Cut them out like a cancer.

Plato's ideal Republic is a basically a totalitarian communist state. Marxists all believe they are "philosopher-kings" whose duty is to impose their will on humanity for the greater good. His student Aristotle BTFO'd him on every point. Plato and The Republic are good to know, but Aristotle is the real father of Western thought.

see pic. Also, remember ancient historians often talked shit about people they didn't like, and uncritically believed the (((rumors))) they were told about certain societies.

while we're here

Plato didn't really say; Only the dead have seen the end of war.

Scholars say it's not in the Dialogues, or anywhere else, etc.

Plato's republic was created assuming a number of ideal conditions which communism also assumes. I highly doubt he believed such a republic possible, it was more a framing device for his explanation of justice than a true template for what government should be. I don't think you should be so hard on him.

Every time I here a laughable claim like that I remember that shitty phrase I first heard in a CoD game.
I certainly didn't think such a throwaway phrase would turn out so true.

What if I just read the Upanishads instead?

I wish more people were interested in this discussion
