There isn’t an end goal. The authoritarian leaders just want to have and keep power for as long as possible. That’s it. It’s not more complicated than that. It’s just power for the sake of power.
I’ve always thought that it’s a system of control for the sake of control. I would think such a system would acquire as much power as to ease the effort to control. I agree it’s a nihilistic system that subverts the potential of humanity.

Kinda… yeah. Nature is brutal
