Marxists don't realize that in the long run they'll be the 'mark' of their ideology.

Last I checked, Marxism didn't exist in Plato's day because Marx wasn't born yet.

Plato was alive around that time though in ancient Greece

I know Martin means, but it would be more accurate to say the Marx borrowed some of his ideas from Plato, than to suggest Plato is a Marxist. Calling Plato a Marxist would be what Dan Carlin called, painting a bullseye around the arrow.

Plato had some fucked up ideas, and some insightful ideas, he's a mixed bag.

A pedophile douche nozzle? Absolutely. Proto-Commie? Indeed, Hash knows.

Plato would spend hours pacing in his cave rubbing himself and thinking about the perfect form for an Athenian boy. Feminine looking, smooth skin, probably pre pubescent would have been his Pythagoran ideal.

Aristotle might not have been a pedo but hey man even Philip liked young men so idk. The women there were probably thinking why the hell do all the top dogs also like dudes? Man do they build great buildings, sculpture, theatre , and have every intellectual idea possible. It's such a paradox.
