You'll only get an argument if you insist that the philosophers all be theists. Isn't that the main contention of philosophy? Lol. Anyway, I think I could be misunderstood. Is communism a result of philosophy or a result of science. I think it was niether. It was class warfare. Which is political. So I differentiate between political philosophy and epistemological philosophy. Another weakness is the risk that philosophers as a group could become politicized. Maybe one philosopher could cajole the others into voting with him to legislate nihilism, or the destruction of everything, especially the rights of the individual. So there would need to be some safeguards. Anyway, just a Platonic pipe dream.
