Hello /lit/, do you know of any books that make a compelling case for traditional marriage and the importance of gender roles in modern society? I would prefer something that goes beyond "those dum leftists"
Thanks.

I am currently writing that book.
I argue that having children is a necessary step towards caring for a society's future.
I don't care about gender roles, though. The only people who defy them are the ones who wouldn't be very good at fulfilling them anyway, so there's absolutely no need to meditate over or enforce the concept.

But these values are obviously bunk shit.
Read FoucaultĀ“s stuff on sexuality. He deals with the relationship between medieval family values and 19th century ideas about sexuality.

Have you even read his Republic?

It is a tradition taken from Latin and older translations. Sometimes it gets called The Statesman, which is, I believe, what the Germans do.
Cicero's De Res Publica is often left untranslated or as variations of 'On the Republic'

Germans leave it untranslated "Politeia", or sometimes translate it to "The State".
De Res Publica is "On public subjects".

It isn't called the Statesman in English, there is a separate dialogue called the Statesman.
