Plato’s political theory of “the Body Politic” represented its changes in polis as decay; inspiring Martin Luther’s warranted revolution against Christendom and the authority of the Roman Catholic Church; yet went on to influence a continuous revolution against the oppressor, a persistent disease whose pathogenesis is Marxism. Marxism is a disease a result of both the Protestant Reformation and Athenian political theory; it was Plato’s theory that led to Luther’s action, thereby leading to Karl Marx’s recipe for revolution. Expounding from this, various interpretations ensued, leading to a continuous violent revolution evident in contemporary times.
