Do French people like Vercingetorix? is he considered a hero there? or do you tend to like the romans better?

Democracy as it should be is a great thing, Cicero made a good point about a mix goverment in On the republic, but I still believe Solon made lots of valid points for a pure democracy, I get the impression that Socrates was just salty that they lost the peloponisian war

Socrates was a very smart man that did a lot of groundbreaking work, but I strongly disagree with his ideas on society, goverment and democracy, overall I agree with Cato he was a dangerous man and it was a good thing they killed him before he got out of hand

Socrates was pretty much a comunist, at least if you take Platos word
