Interesting thought. Could also be taken as view on the trades of power concentration, and in particular, Monarchy, Oligarchy, or Autocracy. A natural formation when a strong, capable, well-liked leader comes into power, or in the presence of a vacuum of competent leadership. They can be highly beneficial and efficient, rapidly responsive to change, like a sword through red-tape, or oppressive and controlling. Largely dependent on the character of the captain of the ship. And viewpoint. Caesar was loved by many, killed by a few. Lincoln, J.F.K, Gandhi, similar. And they can often be destabilizing when they end. Even if not by such drastic means as above. A classic problem of monarchies that if you had no children or incompetent children, your gov't was in trouble. Not that pure republics and democracies with strong decentralization are a whole lot better. Just different issues. Why they oscillate. And even those often function best with a strong figurehead.
