Strongman rule is a fantasy. Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. He won’t.

When all power emanates from the top down, the practical effect is that there is no means of appeal for those who are subjected to arbitrary abuses of justice from the mid-level management.

You are at the an entire battery of mini-tyrants each defending their own turf and interests.
