A considerable topic is missed: superficial comparison of Plato's city and communist society popularized in the early USSR, as well as a similar post-soviet comparison, but from the point of view of completely opposite judgement.
A solid starting point: F.Nethercott: "Plato's Republic in a Bolshevik Utopia" article, evolved into a book, Russia's Plato. And of course, google will give you much more, for a full-blown separate article.
Eg. Karl Kautsky saw Plato's among the precursors of socialism. Bertrand Russell after visiting the ussr alluded to Plato's.
level-4 vital article is rated C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
