I’ve read The Republic and I find it to be a long essay in support of what amounts to today’s therapeutic government. I do not support Plato in that at all (I am quite a fan of some of his dialogues, however).

I fail to see how reading The Republic would correct BillyBoy.

He might learn that a Republican form of government is superior to the tyrannies of an oligarchy and a democracy.
