What this means in practice is a return to the very corrupt system we had before there was a professional civil service, in which the winning party uses federal jobs as a means of rewarding supporters.

    Fascism usually mostly encompasses all the others.

        Same as most autocracies. The system of incentives lines up such that the innermost circle gets absurdly over-rewarded in order to not turn on the leader. In other words, it’s corruption by design in almost all autocratic systems, and even when the autocrat manages to avoid that, regression towards the mean means it ends up that way within a couple generations at best.
