Really?
Plato, to take just one on your list, wanted a dictatorship of vitrue. He advocated for an absolute monarchy and a form of socialist state in which there would be three classes of citizen:
Guardians. Today, these might be called something like "Party members" or the "Central Committee."
Military. Obvious
Producers. Basically everybody else who kowtow to the Guardians who use the military to enforce their will.
His objective was to create a Utopia by the leadership guiding the citizenry to it.
Maybe you should read his ideas then:

Here's the 'Cliff Notes' version:

Even the most basic source says I'm correct:Best form of Government
According to Plato, the best form of government is ‘absolute monarchy.’ He opposes democracy since ignorant and incompetent politicians can create political instability by their misdeeds.

In Plato's Republic, Socrates is highly critical of democracy and proposes an aristocracy ruled by philosopher-kings. Plato's political philosophy has thus often been considered totalitarian by some

I read the first volume of Capital by Marx so you're trying to shoot the messenger. Marxism is about the unification of class, gender and race for a common goal, which is worker owned production. A corporation can't move to China because the workers get a vote on the decision making. Marxism is a company or community democracy that won't allow the one vote of a CEO and his toadies on the board of directors to destroy a town to save a few bucks by offshoring.
Marxism is a lot like that movie Tommy Boy.
