"when Socrates reflected on inequality in Plato’s “Republic,” he observed that a state characterized by significant wealth disparity is not a state at all but rather “two states, the one of poor, the other of rich men, and they are living on the same spot and always conspiring against one another.” Prof D. L Williams, NYT. 6/21/26. The issue is not capitalism vs socialism. The issue is the inevitable damage to a country that becomes two states always in conflict.
