I have found that there are many parallels between the just Republic described by Socrates and Elliot Rodger's utopia. For instance, the two philosophers both believed that women should not get to choose who they mated with. Instead, the decision should be made by "rational men of intelligence". In fact, like Elliot, Socrates wanted to dissolve the family and instead have children be raised by the state. Further, Socrates believed that if a person cannot be used by the Republic, they should be disposed of. An example of this is his condemnation of the mentally and physically ill to death or outcast. Thus, if women are so consumed by their appetites that they cannot produce, Socrates would likely support Elliot Rodgers' plan. That is, most should be deprived of food while the rest are imprisoned in underground labs for insemination and study. Clearly, just like Socrates, ER was a philosopher who loved to think. Because of his autism and social isolation, he spent much of his time pondering the substance of his ideas. Thus, in The Republic, ER would likely belong to the ruling guardian class.
