The problem is that philosophy cannot run a world of 8 billion people.
How many humans were alive during platos time? A billion maybe? I can see philosophy working then, but as soon as theres billions of people involved you need something like organized religion, authoritarianism or capitalism.

Philosophy is a spectrum, you cant measure or screen people using it.
but yeah some academic sociology experience should be 100% required for any position of power

Yes it does. But its solely based on the accumulation of wealth, not religion or any idea.
We are all governed by capitalist ideologies.
