Why do you think it's fundamentally fragile? The soviet union lasted for about 70 years. China has had a unique party for around 70 years (and no signs of ot changing anytime soon). What other types of government are less fragile? I think democracy is more fragile for sure.

The US has lasted well over 200 years.

Overcenralization in an environment of increasing disruptive dynamics is a path to eventual catastrophe when survival boils down to minimizing latency to action.
