Nah, the guy I'm thinking of had this idea for a utopian society and he had a lot of ideas that were pretty cool and ahead of his time, but then he was just like, foreigners will volunteer to be slaves just so they can be a part of this society, and they'll do all the work. Existential Comics did a comic about him.
Edit: My mistake, it wasn't a Greek philosopher, it was Thomas More
It does line up with a sentiment in Aristophanes' Assemblywomen
Praxagora: I want all to have a share of everything and all property to be in common; there will no longer be either rich or poor; I shall begin by making land, money, everything that is private property, common to all.

Tbh I've had the same thought. Meme level understandings of philosophers/philosophy can do more harm than good. Still ok sometimes tho.
