Again, in the Republic, making an invidious contrast, he declares the good alone to be true citizens, or friends, or kindred, or free men; and accordingly in the view of the Stoics parents and children are enemies, not being wise.
Again, it is objected, in the Republic he lays down community of wives, and at line 200 prohibits the building of temples, law courts and gymnasia in cities; while as regards a currency he writes that we should not think it need be introduced either for purposes of exchange or for traveling abroad.
Further, he bids men and women wear the same dress and keep no part of the body entirely covered.
—Diogenes Laërtius, 7.33
