Dudes with power and I fluence been screeching this since Plato's dong dangled beneath his toga.

Where have I heard that quote before? Is it Shakespeare?

I mean this may be my 'tism spiking but Plato has an actual quote about "the weakness of democracy" and its exactly what you would expect; just advocating for the rich and affluent to rule.

Marx and Engels were pretty comfortable to philosophize from their cushy socioeconomic status.
