Don't get me wrong im opposed to democracy
Oligarch didn't mean Ultra capitalist back then
And the oligarchy was already a degradation of character anyways
Democracy was just the last step to collapse
I was very surprised to read it in the book.
Usually Plato is paraded as a vanguard of democracy.
Typically from people who didn’t read his novels.
People praise the socratic method as the cornerstone of Democracy, like bruh he was literally executed because he opposed Democracy
Yes, and a democratic method was utilized to determine whether he was to be executed or not, lmao.
He apparently lost by a small margin.
That’s mob rule, right there.
The trials were pretty interesting, Gregory B Sadler on YouTube has a great set of videos on Socrates
Yes. I read his speech.
To the crowd.
@everyone Daily Question 🔖
**-** What is your view on the rich/elite? Do they have a social responsibility, how much should the top bracket be taxed, are they simply superior and therefore rich?
kill them all
libtarded
@Jimmie Thicc Boi Gustav II Adolf is superior you cunt
Throughout history the higher echelons of society have been less susceptible to the evils of Bolshevism and more inclined to support a fascist movement
Although the corporate oligarchs of today are bad
Below should be taxed 10%
depends on how they got rich
if its by being gay then tacks 100%
if its by being based then like 80-90% tacks
Definitely higher taxes on the 1%
Agreed with what @Honey Beanger states.
Regulate taxation of upper class more, and close the existing corporate tax loopholes.
Oh, I like that point
@DotNerd If they’re of the highest echelons of society, they need to emulate the traditions, culture, and mannerisms the most efficiently to serve as examples in a hierarchical state.
<:sadpepe:591182526148771871> im sorry
This precludes them from evading taxes and practicing usury.
90% income tax on top bracket
Eat the rich
I'd say 50% might be enough, but 90% sounds good too.
Development of a hierarchy within a state is inevitable, but stratification is avoidable.
Checks and balances rely in authority, so at least Democracy can lend a bit of power, but not really.
Brainwashed folk are common.
Then again, the current choices are an issue too
