Greek philosopher, author of The Republic, a manual for oligarchical tyranny. It recommends censorship, strict government control of the arts, and lying to the public. This recipe has been tried by many royalists, theocrats, Communists, and Fascists, with generally appalling results.

Highly recommended by Leo Strauss, mentor of several Neoconservatives.
