Plato's Theory of the State
Pauper: To understand some things out there, you have to have an understanding of the thing as a whole. This way of thinking about the state practically guarantees a facius or totalitarian outcome. The ends of long term stability justify the means of momentary human suffering. That's a sacrifice that plato is willing to make.
