read Plato's the republic
Not in the way you people are describing
he was a greek from that era and laid out how a republic can work
yes in the way we are describing, and ethnic collective of Europeans instead of Semites like the Persians.
Persian and meditation are not the same ethnicity.
Ok so I've never heard of this ancient Grecian collapse you mention sound 600-500 and a quick search brings up nothing
What are you talking about?
Can’t recall that being mentioned in the republic. Best I can recall is the metallic classes
Not an ethnicity thing though
Ethnicity is a relatively modern concept
So your book which is not the republic says the republic says it
You see the issue here
<:facepalm:508484035274735665>
Did a quick look and funny enough at least in my translation ‘ethnicity’ doesn’t even appear
which volume do you have?
it's sectioned into multiple volumes
which do you have?
Hey, good thing all commentaries say exactly the same thing as the source material and can be innately trusted when shown by randoms on the net otherwise. Ebook I’ve got is a compilation of the volumes. I got a flight tho so I’m also out
Also given Plato saw oligopolies as the optimal form of govt your own commentary would seem to infer a middleground of homogeneity and diversity
The problem with the quote from your book is that it doesn't demonstrate the point you are making
Persia will rise again
Philia doesn't have to mean ethnic homogeneity.
Just quickly, if you want to keep claiming your citing a volume of the republic there @Friend of Greatest Ally I didn’t know Plato had so much to say on the French Revolution
Time travelling confirmed
Plato led the French Revolutionaries bravely against the 300 Persians at Thucydides pass
Did you never read history in high school?
No milk, this is all really fascinating to me
I’m learning things which are completely new to me
I'm back and I used that in the sense of an opinion from the time about ethnicity
To everyone, I think
So your citing some fucking random and saying it’s the republic
@Friend of Greatest Ally I’m *black
Also while there’s some ambiguity over authorship the republic is generally attributed to Plato
might want to read back fresh
Taking off, out
context is key
