Why was Socrates sentence to death?

He spoke against the authority, and gave the plebs tools to understand how they were being manipulated. #Trivium

He also demanded a taxpayer-funded government salary for life; IF the jury didn't sentence him to death.

"Between Censorship and Socialism" must have been the juridicial equivalent of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Between_Scylla_and_Charybdis

If I can't use hyperbole in a discussion about the very people who coined the word, when can I use it? :)

Ah yeah. Fair enough.

I confused because before Socrates, Solon and Kleisthenis had indeed made changes that can be seen as socialistic.
