I said in another post that I’m less familiar with Aristotle, but I thought that was the main divide between them, and was under the impression that Aristotle took the whole “I’m going to make own school” approach to their disagreements. Whereas Plato believed in the rule of the supposed phiosopher-king, Aristotle argued for the value of a more open democracy.
Eh, Artistotle was Plato’s student. They’re not that different. Aristotle was a complete aristocracy simp.

Aristotle was also the tutor to Alexander the great, who extinguished democracy in Greece forever
