Or rather, the trouble with ascribing anything to Socrates is that he never wrote anything down. All that we have of his teachings were either contemporary accounts, or recordings of his students, mostly Plato.
and we definitely know what Plato thought about democracy. So while Socrates is thought to have been critical of democracy, we can’t really know how much of that was colored by Plato’s feelings on the subject.
