Thanks, that sounds entertaining. Sounds like a tract a court jester might write.
(I think we have a progressive tendency to overestimate the sophistication of our age relative to those of the past. And not to be pedantic, but I wouldn't call what you described as subversive. Subversion would involve destroying or undermining a just political order. But offering a gentle reminder of the importance of justice is counterrevolutionary because it seeks to restore something good. We must not relativize revolution as merely that which is opposed to some prevailing status quo.
Socrates was not subversive; the sophists were.)
