Recently read an article, can’t pronouse the word for the life of me not can I find the articles. The word was something like Patriot something…

The tldr of the old government form that was basically obsolete was all power controlled by one guy, basically a postmodern king of sorts.

It’s garbage but yeah…what’s the word?

Edit: it’s Patrimonialism - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrimonialism
