Well, /lit/, today was the second class of the introduction to political theory. The assigned readings were a few selections from Plato's Republic.

According to my esteemed peers, in short, Plato is GARBAGE.

>slave-owning defendant of the stratified status quo
>the sacred INDIVIDUAL is neglected; the guardian is not allowed to own precious private property, the producers cannot strive to become powerful guardians in their own right
>there is nothing to stop the almighty guardians from exercising tyranny over the lower classes

/lit/, however could you respond to such a barrage of well-considered and devastating critiques of plato's utopia?
