It all strikes me as humans grouping to gain an advantage.
All except ‘autocrat’, which is power held by a single person. No grouping necessary.

No, sorry, that autocrat, like any other power, still has to pander for support, and needs funding, once they get that power. If they fail to garner that support, and keep rivals at bay, they are as subject to revolution as any other form of power. Power regardless of label, has to be funded in some way, open society or closed.
Revolutions in our species history have gone in both directions, from closed states to open states, and from open states to closed states. The labels don't matter. Power is just that, power. And there are countless examples in human history worldwide, where power keeps for a while then fails and gets replaced by another power.
