Well, I think strongman rule is just the general failure mode of more advanced forms of government, I mean, it's either a single strongman or complete splintering into several states. there is nowhere further down to go.

Of more advanced forms of government or... all forms? I suppose societies that have always been strongman-governed aren't slipping into strongman government as a failure mode, but still.
