I agree that Plato was a smart dude. I have read The Republic. I do not agree that anything in life is inevitable, and I do not agree that Plato has a crystal ball. I do not think Plato would agree with what you are saying right now.

Well I agree he did not have a crystal ball. He had the observations from history of many empires that rose and fell. We can look back now in modern history and see his ideas are correct. Chomsky on the other hand has no such observations to pull from in regards to anarchism aside from tribal interactions. In 1,000 years Chomsky will be a footnote compared to Plato. My issue with Plato's ideas is that they are being exploited today and we are headed for a tyranny.
