In fairness to Plato, the first conscious communist, it should be pointed
out that the "class inequality" justified by the *gennaios pseudos*
consisted of persuading the *rulers* ("guardians" and "philosopher kings")
to accept a way of life in which they should not only own no money, but no
private property at all, and in which their material consumption would be
limited to the strict requirements of physical and mental health.
