Creft, What's Your Favorite Platonic Dialogue?

The gorgias is basically the argument of the republic without all the political details and absurdities. Machiavelli understood the first time the power of propaganda, a kind of spiritual warfare without relying on the military. And he says that rhetoric is the supreme thing in life because you can get people to do whatever you want by persuasion. Most of us don't believe that. We go to movies and we're not shocked by sin. We're shocked by suffering.
