The only thing I'll say on this is that I can't think of anyone on the geopolitical level who's death would cause somebody better to show up, presumably everyone has a system more or less like the US and the replacement is from the same party with more or less the same platform.
It's the worst form of right wing authoritarianism. The terror is stochastic, the institutional violence is slow, the captains of industry are all in on it, the figureheads are interchangeable, and the dystopic aspects are distracting and soul numbing rather than providing a sense of being a hard-bitten underdog. There's nobody you can kill, nothing to destroy that would end it, and all the people with the most credible alternative ideas will demand that you read a shitload of stuff and will still bicker and undercut each other rather than do it.
