Interesting post, definitely food for thoughts.

From the perspective of systems the revolution is not about decentralization, it's about recombination of centralization-decentralizion accents to another stable state which is more efficient than the previous one.

Decentralization might be seen from a personal perspective as a process of giving back diginty and souveregnity to individual cells, absolutism is understandable from that point of view. Wisdom of trauma.

And there is decentralization as a process. As long as this what it too centralized isn't decentralized yet, the push for decentralization might be a dominant force and absolutism is also understandable here.
