We can strive for simplicity, transparency, & accountability today. Plato's age didn't have the global connectivity to support the people.
I forget how the quote goes and can't find it. Something about freedom being highest/most valuable amidst tyranny. I am botching the quote.

Very true. I have given up finding the quote, but I always considered Socrates as Plato's martyr at the hands of Greek democracy, biased?

I always liked what I could find of Diogenes, but most of his works were lost.

Yes, that is true. The Cynics of old aren't quite the rampant cynicism one would find today. Much less resigned and defeatist.

That's a great quote. I may be thinking of ancient Greek philosophy, but my memory is failing me. Lots of freedom/tyranny quotes as you said
