[Anonymous No.11796545]

what if he wasnt right about everything but had such a large influence on downstream thinkers that we made him right by modeling our reality out of his thinking?

So which of Plato's 5 men are you?

Reality and human nature only works the way it was intended.

Everyone believing a lie and living it out just causes reality to come crashing down hard (see: the collapse of the Soviet Union)

Plato would've agreed with Hitler. This is my unpopular speculation.

He was right about forms existing, but not right about forms being eternal, maybe he was actually (continuty) but I doubt it. Aristotle was far more right.

>If one must look for ancient antecedent to Hitler, it was not Plato, but Lycurgus, the Spartan lawgiver. In both Sparta and the Third Reich, one has militarism, natalism, eugenics, and unabashed rule over racial inferiors. Hitler himself wrote in his unpublished Second Book, “Sparta must be regarded as the first ethnostate.” Observers such as Ezra Pound also noted the similarity between the two states.
