I can't remember The Sophist (is that the right one?) very well from my A-levels, but I do remember thinking Callicles' arguments in favour of might being right were stronger than Socrates' opposing reasoning.

A triumph of desire over pleasure? Hardly. Hedonism is the force majeure of modern thinking, as I see it. Self indulgence is a pressure, to be sure, but it's mostly as an end-state that it is manifested in an ocean of tattooed skin, piercings, dyed hair, possession of the latest techno-gadgets, an internet awash in selfies in stills and video, forgetting carbon footprint in favour of 'skip the dishes' door-to-door prepared meals, and a number of other self-indulgences.

I am going to side with Socrates. There is no suffering but that it is initiated in a mind capable of administering it. Prima facie, the doer is worse than the sufferer. We all suffer in some way, even apparently unjustly. But life is transitory, whereas 'our story', our legacy, or what is left of us after we did, will suffer the ignominy of having done the injustice. Those whose legacy can lay claim to have suffered are going to be much better off in the long run for having endured it or having succumbed to its ravages.

And they'll still be just as dead as everyone else. How will they be better off for having suffered? Because someone might write a sympathetic history of their woes? Or because the gods of the afterlife when show them more mercy?

What does death have to do with the topic?

I thought you were talking about death when you said:

If not, then you're saying those of us who suffer will be better off later on in life then those who caused the suffering (I take it by being mindless consumers)?

We disagree just in terms: Hedonism is based on a desire,
and self-indulgence is a pleasure. If you write that self-indulgence is a pressure, that means that it is a result of the more fundamental process, causing an endless pleasure-chasing.

Don't you think that Socrates was using his thesis just as a pretext? Indeed, he was obsessed by the desire to win by any cost.

Hedonism is generally understood as a philosophy that sets the pursuit of pleasure (understood in the sense of pleasures that are sensorily gratifying, ecstatic, etc.) as the primary ethical goal.

I replied to gloaming, who wrote:"

Hedonism is the force — gloaming

".
If we consider again Socrates's thesis:"doing injustice is worse than suffering injustice”,
it was deciphered recently by Deleuse and Guattari as "Where one believed there was the law, there is, in fact, desire and desire alone. Justice is desire and not law."

Okay, I see that I typed 'did' instead of 'die.' Sorry for not seeing my error sooner and correcting myself.

Death is merely an inevitable condition accruing to all of us, regardless of what brings it on. So, I see it as irrelevant in and of itself. What I meant is that, once all there is to us is history, because WE ARE history :-) ..heh!...the person perpetrating the injustice will have come off worse than the person who suffered it. I believe this is what Socrates was thinking. Life is now, but the future is forever. So is the past. We don't remember the millions of faces-with-names who were tortured, killed, or otherwise diminished by the Nazis, as a typical example, but we sure know more about those who perpetrated those indignities. And not because we hold them in high regard.

Scott Berman in his essay "Socrates and Callicles on Pleasure" wrote:"Socrates himself is a hedonist...
The difference between Callicles and Socrates on the pleasure and the good is that Callicles does not take into consideration the structures of the pleasure or the pains he avoids whereas Socrates thinks that you have to take into consideration these structures."

Most likely, the thesis “doing injustice is worse than suffering injustice” was constructed by Plato to back his own presentation of the event of Socrates’s death.
So, according to Plato, Socrates preferred “suffering injustice” and actually committed "a philosophical suicide”. Is suicide still a greatest ethical choice available for us?
