The problem in pinpointing Socrates' true stand on democracy is that Socrates' whole mission in life was to question. He was always engaged in arguement which, in many cases, would likely involve playing devil's advocate. You cannot go by this or that quote attributed to him. Personally, I think Socrates was a bit of an anarchist.
