I'm sorry, but whenever someone busts out Plato, the first thing that comes to mind is "Leftist". There's a reason the real Plato's Republic has never been tried.
I'm a true believer in his ideal king solution. The best king is a man who leads not because he wants to, but because he fear that if he doesn't someone worse than him will rule. It's a bit like internet janitors; the worst people for the role, are the people who want it most.
Plato was also a believer is supremacy and hierarchy, hence why he created the gold, silver, bronze structure of society. The gold being the leaders, the silver being the warrior, the bronze being the working man. Evola used these structures to argue for what the left calls "fascism" and what they also call the "caste system", so I don't get the leftist connection you speak of.

Does Putin qualify?

Cause it was never intended as a serious proposal for an actual state.
