In this paper, after some introductory notes on “communism” and on the relation between Aristotle and Plato (in section 1), we proceed to narrate briefly Aristotle’s report (section 2), and his criticism (in sections 3 and 4), of the theory of family and wealth communism in Plato’s philosophy. Then, we try to have a glance on this theory as it has proposed by Plato in his Republic (section 5). At the end, we endeavor, on the core of Plato’s message, to assessing Aristotle’s report and criticism of the theory (section 6). In the last section, while we accept Aristotle’s words in an special level, we try to clear Plato of Aristotelian accusations.
