So...he was the world's first moralfag that could write?

Plato was the only guy who followed Socrates around and took his death to be his greatest philosophical act, precisely because he was a moralfag. You don't even have to believe anything Plato says, but the Socrates of Plato's Apology prefigures Christ, and the Socrates of Xenophanes' Apology, according to Bertrand Russell, just doesn't seem objectionable enough to kill. It stands to reason that Plato understood better the mission of his teacher, and why it would lead to his death. All this to say that Socrates himself was probably the chief moralfag, and would've loved pestering priests about all the issues with God being Love while relishing in believing something he cannot understand.

Someone without morals can't say having morals is something negative because that would be a moral.

There's no bigger browbeating grandstanding moralfag than Nietzsche.
"Don't do that!" Is the summary of every one of his pages.

Has skyrocketed the number of suffering children in Africa. Feed 1 starving archaic hominid and you'll have to feed 5 in 5 years.

Plato wasn't a "moralfag" in the modern sense. He was attempting to find the most effective way to run a state. He was an implicit consequentialist and he wasn't an ethical universalist. That puts him to Stirner than most other philosophers post-Kant

*closer to Stirner
