Essay from the year 2023 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the Ancient World, , language: English, abstract: The "Revolt of the Masses" commenced long before the twentieth century. And the only remedy to the ochlocratic/plutocratic democracy of our days is the implementation of the Platonic Polity. For unless "wisdom joins the political power", as the great Athenian philosopher has explained, the suffering of the humankind will never end. Today, Plato’s political philosophy is more relevant than ever. Our world is ruled by a more or less “occult government” marked by “nepotistic plutocracy” and the consequent flagrant corruption. And this government exercises power thanks to support provided to them by all sorts of real or imaginary oppressed. And their method is simple, very simple. There is a huge difference between the common man and the man who is able to think. Yet, in the framework of today’s plutocratic democracy everyone, regardless of his origin, education and skills, is regarded as a human “truly having his mind at work” and accordingly entitled to have opinion on political matters. Usually, moreover, this very regime is labelled as “platonic”, but it is not. As a matter of fact, it is a perversion of Platonism. For it recognizes the problems that plague humankind today (overpopulation, environmental pollution, etc), but tries to solve them in a wrong way. According to Plato, nepotism and plutocracy bring about the destruction of the State.
