In the article a parallel is drawn between the ostensible fascist promotion of the state over the individual and Plato's implication that the state is a better subject to understand justice than the individual.

Notice that Nazi Germany would be an example of the "fevered state", as opposed to the healthy, moderate state, that necessitates a "guardian class" in the first place.
