>Let me tell you about my perfect hierarchically organised city which functions via eugenic control, education designed to make people think in the way we have determined to be objectively correct (a tier-based caste system, the rational element at the top decides how to organise them into a cohesive whole and everyone else simply accepts their lot) and throwing all of the artists who aren't willing to make the kind of art our wise leaders consider beneficial out so they don't corrupt the youth

>cultural marxism
You think the kind of rigorously rationalistic, organized city Plato envisions would open its walls to immigrants? How would it make them believe that they are coppers, silvers and golds who have grown out of the earth, i.e., that their purpose in life has been decided for them by the society they are a part of?

I don't approve of any intellectuals. Frankly if you don't earn your living with honest work then you aren't worthy of esteem. The only exceptions I make I are for priests, monks, and nuns, because they perform vital religious functions, and schoolteachers, because children should be educated. The world would be better off if the intelligentsia, at least journalists and humanities academics, were forcibly dissolved and redistributed to more practical fields of employment. I'd like to see a woman's studies professor working in a coal mine, for example. The foregoing is just my opinion.

Depending on how you define "honest" that's a undisputable fact though, most people working in humanities aren't doing what they want to do, writing about what they want to write about, etc.

But I guessed you use "honest" as in the humble sort, shoulder-stooping physical work of the peasants, like plowing or the like
Idek what's your problem with intellectual work (it's real work too) and if you really meant "honest" in the sense we both conceive what's the problem with dishonest work? Is that not useful too?
