"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy,
And the dogs that bark revolution.
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks. Long live freedom and damn the ideologies!"
(Robinson Jeffers)
Plato said, “The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.”
That is coming true in spades in our own time. The insipid, passive mass of Westerners have embraced surrender as though it were the holiest of sacraments.
Say, what was Plato's last name? I wonder about these things. Even Cher has a last name.

Plato was apparently a name he assumed later in life. His original name was Aristocles.
