7.2 THE HATRED OF PLATO AND OF {AGAPE}.<br />

In his {Mission des souverains}, Saint-Yves explains his total hatred<br />

<strong>of</strong> Plato and his principle <strong>of</strong> justice <strong>of</strong> the Republic, {agape}. He explains<br />

that Plato never understood the real nature <strong>of</strong> the Republic <strong>of</strong> Athens whose<br />

ultimate purpose was to guarantee domestic slavery, that is the enslavement<br />

<strong>of</strong> the majority <strong>of</strong> the population into agriculture, military and civil slavery.<br />

Only the citizens are free, a freedom which is exclusively guaranteed by<br />

slavery <strong>of</strong> the great majority, a perpetual and ominous status that could<br />

threaten anyone at any time. To which Saint-Yves adds: "Thus, if Nicetes<br />

had not bought Plato's freedom, this vulgar interpreter <strong>of</strong> Pythagoras, despite<br />

his metaphysical fantasies on the Republic, should have limited his<br />

republican virtues to the strict practice <strong>of</strong> his slave duties, under the threat <strong>of</strong><br />

the whip, <strong>of</strong> torture or even <strong>of</strong> impalement." If this is the kind <strong>of</strong> justice that<br />

Saint-Yves d'Alveydre had in mind for the great Plato, what kind <strong>of</strong> justice<br />

does he have in mind for you?<br />

This notwithstanding, since the Republic represented for Saint-Yves<br />

the "pure and unlimited popular will" <strong>of</strong> its free citizens, this form <strong>of</strong><br />

government could not function without a necessary theocratic authority.<br />

Under such conditions, Saint-Yves was forced to conclude: "No true<br />

republic could ever exist under Christianity. The governments <strong>of</strong> the Italian<br />

cities, <strong>of</strong> Flanders, <strong>of</strong> Holland, were republican by name only. Being<br />

representative, in reality, the system <strong>of</strong> these cities was municipal or<br />

empirocratic, sometimes both together, as are more or less England, the<br />

United States, Switzerland, and as would wish the bourgeoisie <strong>of</strong> France,<br />

although they would never succeed for reasons that are not useful to reveal<br />

here." (Saint-Yves, {Mission des souverains}, p. 30)<br />

For Saint-Yves d'Alveydre, the Peace <strong>of</strong> Westphalia was anathema.<br />

He considered this “Code <strong>of</strong> Nations” as “hypocritical and unreal” because<br />

that Peace established the right to economic and military security <strong>of</strong><br />

individual sovereign European nation-states, against establishing a Europe <strong>of</strong><br />

cities and regions based on a European constitutional and synarchist legal<br />

system. During the late 1880’s, Saint-Yves d’Alveydre developed this<br />

fallacy <strong>of</strong> composition by opposing the “loyal magistrature” <strong>of</strong> Henry IV <strong>of</strong><br />
