I agree. She's definitely been showing her true sympathies - both tone and phrasings. Sorry to see this. #kare11

Bad take. If he wanted a senate seat, Tina smith's was there for the taking. He is taking one for the team- he falls on his sword, the issue disappears from the governor's race

Burke was walking a fine line here. Plato thought that the demos' "insatiable desire" for freedom (THE principle of the American revolution) would lead to anarchy and then to tyranny (France's reign of terror resulting in Napoleon). Was it tradition that prevented a similar fate for America?

Fair enough. I'd rather have been an Athenian citizen than a Spartan. But I don't mind tweaking those who think that 5th c bca Athens was some pure "golden age" of democracy, arts, philosophy. Loved asking students to read the Melian dialogue for that reason (and as a set for Hobbes later)

Wouldn't dispute that both Soc and Plato were unsympathetic to the ruling Athenian polity, but it is not as if the "Athenian democracy" was all that distinct from the "Spartan oligarchy" - Athens was also a brutal oligarchy - Remember the Melian dialogue.

". . . or those who rule come to genuinely philosophize" -- i.e., rule based on reason & knowledge rather than public opinion, passions, or emotions.
I don't know, seems like a good idea to me.

Plato also thought that democracy was a fundamentally corrupt form of gov't because the people ('demos" "hoi polloi") were driven by their most base desires, and would demand the freedom to pursue the "goods" that oligarchs achieved rather than pursuing the care of their own souls
