Ridiculous bs. If you actually red Plato, you'd know he's all about a centralized technocratic government by a small elite group of philosophers (he called them council of the night). He's basically the grand-daddy of the NWO, Big brother state, Committee of 300, WEF, CFR and Bilderberg. He sees no problem in socially engineering people and keeping them easy to control - ends justifying the means.
Reading the greek view on morality, you will notice none of them would judge the psychopathic elite you rail against as being evil. On the contrary - they excel at controlling the world through cold calculating reason and superb planning which makes them virtuous. Moreover if you believe in darwinism, they evolved to be at the top of the hierarchy which places them at the top of the natural world (thus fulfilling the "live in accordance with nature" postulate of stoicism).
What is the justification for morality in your pagan worldview? Why we ought to follow truth and the good?
Not at all, I'm a Christian monarchist. The problem is the definition of what a virtuous king represents gets a little dicey with Plato and his crew. Why? Because his definition of virtue (ethics) is subjective and even his contemporary philosophers would disagree on many points. There was no consensus and common doctrines among the pagans and OP tries to spin it the other way around. What makes Plato any more right than say Epicurus?
