The Dark Philosophy of Plato

That was never taught in history books. Plato was not born a philosopher.

He was born into wealth. Power. And political influence. But everything changed

when his teacher, Socrates, was executed by the state. Plato believed democracy

had failed. He warned that when emotions rule, society collapses. Plato imagined a

perfect state. Ruled not by crowds, but by thinkers. Kings guided by

wisdom. Not popularity. His ideas shaped governments, education,

and power structures for over two thousand years. Plato didn't just question reality.

He questioned who should rule it. Stay tuned for part two.
