Annas suggest
that the producers and auxiliaries can have a kind of justice-by-proxy. Although they cannot know truth, as they aren't of the right class and so don't have the requisite skills and education, they can accept the wisdom of those who can know truth and allow themselves to be governed by the ruling classes.
And so Plato's account of a just city, where the producers and auxiliaries allow themselves to be ruled by the rulers, does also involve every individual being just.

"Annas" sounds a bit like "anus".

it's all relative anyway,
regardless of whether the sources sounded like anus
