in order to discover perfect justice it is not enough to merely examine the actions of one person. to that end i will refer to my Marx on Religon anthology
>why did Marx stop reading poetry and turn to philosophy?
to that extent, the cave most likely refers to the way of illusion that is explained by parmenides' poem, so i think the final formulation you will ever see on this matter is that the bird you see in the cave is the same as the bird you see outside, rather than things being andbutso it's not akshully the bird. so if you are to think about whether there is perfect justice you may not think about what would be just were you to be misled about the nature of justice. further more, i think marx choosing to abandon the aesthetic dimension of poetry accounts for why the nature of justice accounts for things being a certain way- were marx to make the decision before being aware of justice he would like be forced to rescind his views, or return to the proverbial cave
