Plato argues that we need this one brilliant philosopher-king to run the show. If he’s the one in charge, we’re just living under his thumb, forced to swallow whatever judgment he hands down. To me, that makes us nothing more than subjects. Honestly, the whole *Politeia* is basically just a manual for ruling over slaves.
