I'm beginning to feel as though Plato's Socrates is the ancient Grecian constitution of communism. We see in his ideology the beginnings of the thoughts that would come to define the movement. His intense censorship of religious literature of the gods just flabbergasts me. He's basically a heretic. He's stating essentially that the gods they follow are immoral. What? I'm sorry. I don't get you dude. I'm changing your name.
But I'm legitimately wondering if this is how the live Socrates was or if this is just a borrowed name for the character.
P. S. I have placed a comment on the post of Suttle, Collin.
I had some of the same thoughts Caleb! U was confused because I felt like this was a variation of the same form of treatment Hitler had towards religious works. I think more than hypocricy, it is an element of control.
