View submission: Plato’s warning: Extreme inequality isn’t just unfair but inevitably leads to civil war, “the greatest of all plagues.”

I just find the whole appeal to authority aspect of the journal's argument funny and shamelessly manipulative. The headline alone screams: "This is true because Plato wrote it! You know, that old philosopher who's smarter and more famous than you!" Now it's especially comical since the greater picture of Plato's work flips the whole argument on its own head.
