Welcome to part two of the democracy dilemma with American political philosopher Jonathan Anomaly.
In part one we discussed Book 8 of Plato’s republic in which the Greek philosopher Plato argued that Athenian democracy was a sham. A total disaster.
He says democracy is anarchy mistaken as freedom
Plato believed that this freedom leads to chaos, and the state degenerates into mob rule; this leads to the emergence of a tyrant.
In this episode we’ll examine similarities between Plato’s observations and our democratic world today. Including how a society hell-bent on unfettered freedom has delivered us gender ideology, health mandates, and a slew of politically correct woke decrees, which seek to stymie democratic principles, rather than advance them.
We’ll also ask the question: are we really living under democracy? Or has a new tyrant emerged in the form of global technocratic dictatorship?
