Alas, if Plato were one of the voters he'd been attracted by the Nancy woman.

Fur Shur totalitarian minded pukes lurk together.

I don’t believe that in Plato’s day women were eligible to run for office, and Aristotle believed that women were defective males. But I do understand your point in that Plato believed that it was the responsibility of all citizens to serve the state. He believed in a cast system, and that the state should raise the children and not the parents. Plato was a full blown statist.
