It's a misunderstanding of the history of civilization. Civilizations always have the king balanced against the power of the rest of the aristocracy. A strong king is necesary to protect the peasants from feudal type slave lords. Likewise the absolute king must be balanced by the aristocracy, who today would just be called billionaires. Democracy adds more check and balances to the equation but humanity has not figured out a better system than a strong central government that follows the rule of law and has some accountability.
