From "Rhetorica ad Herennium"
>Invention is used for the six parts of a discourse: the Introduction, Statement of Facts, Division, Proof, Refutation, and Conclusion.12 The Introduction is the beginning of the discourse, and by it the hearer's mind is prepared13 for attention. The Narration or Statement of Facts sets forth the events that have occurred or might have occurred.14 By means of the Division we make clear what matters are agreed upon and what are contested, and announce what points we intend to take up. Proof is the presentation of our arguments, together with their corroboration.15 Refutation is the destruction p11 of our adversaries' arguments.16 The Conclusion is the end of the discourse, formed in accordance with the principles of the art.

Do you think this applies to Plato's method of discourse? I've been on the search for a comprehensive breakdown Plato's method of rhetoric, term by term.
If not, why not? Any more relevant source in mind?

Looking for anything on Plato's generative good and accelerationism.
I can explain briefly but my knowledge of Plato is cursory at best.
Basically, according to Plato, the ideal state it must be ruled by justice. Justice must be dispensed for every individual by every individual being educated on how to properly organize their soul; the consequence of organizing every single individual's soul is the production of the perfect state, good begets good. The consequence of not paying attention to the moral nature and the soul of every individual is pure chaos. The further we get away from governing for a true moral end (Plato says this begins when private property is brought into the picture) the perfect state begins its decline into chaos, bad begets bad. This is basically accelerationism (i think), the idea that capitalism is inherently flawed and can only lead to its own demise.
I'd appreciate if anyone could lead me in the right direction with anything to read.
