Patrimonialism is probably a more precise characterization of what we will have to expect in many Western ex-republics. It's a patron-client system, but on a political level. If you're not a client then you'll be in deep sh*t.
It means that all power flows from the patron (the ruler), and loyalty towards the law is replaced by loyalty towards FearlessLeader.
The Jan 6 Capitol attack was a nice fore-taste of what's yet to come. 😕

@MarmeeMarch You clearly didn't read it, since you're talking about England while the rest of us are talking about an oligarchy.

@JonLosAngeles66 Bezos owns the Democrat-dominated Washington Compost. Zuckerberg has done what he's told by the Democrat-run FBI, etc.
Wikipedia: The Post editorial board endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012; Hillary Clinton in 2016; and Joe Biden in 2020.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62688532
Excerpt: Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook restricting a story about Joe Biden's son during the 2020 election was based on FBI misinformation warnings.
Musk no longer is conned by the Democrats, apparently.
Wikipedia: In 2014, Musk described himself politically as "half Democrat, half Republican" and "somewhere in the middle, socially liberal and fiscally conservative."

Giving away trillions for taxpayer dollars in exchange for no benefit to taxpayers will plummet Bidet to the bottom like an elevator with a snapped cable. @JonLosAngeles66
