I was had a discussion with a liberal friend who believed that liberals were the intellectual heirs of Plato and conservatives of Aristotle. Don't know if that is true, but that attitude is expressed in the "Republic". Your comment brought that to mind.

I certainly can make an argument that there are similarities between Plato's writings and Facism and Communism.
