most of the nt philosophy derives from plato so yes, he is the source of the infection if you read the republic its actually a perverse technocratic oligarchy i am against these old dead mens ideas, we can see the shitty world of slavery it led to.  i favor sortition and the abolishment of psuedocapitalism (corporate-gov techno-oligarchy) in favor of worker owned cooperatives like mondragon. but my ideas probably dont matter, as i am poor and sick and have no rich and powerful friends.
