Do any of you remember Plato's Republic?

I have not read it in a couple decades, but I think I remember Plato saying that democracy inevitably dissolves because the people get complacent
and thus allow bureaucrats/tyrants to take over.

Sound like the USA?

He also says that the ultimate form of government is rule by a benevolent dictator. He had in mind a philosopher-king,
but in my opinion, the one and only benevolent dictator history will ever know will be Jesus. Maranatha!

The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men-Plato
