I said Klaus was a monarch and an authoritarian by heart because "his way" is to beat everybody into submission. Order through force, that's authorianism 101. He thinks the only way for people to work together is the presence of a supreme leader whose decisions cannot be vetoed. Still authorianism 101. He is also a monarch(ist) because he fully intends to pass his empire on to his son, for his son to do the same and so on and so on and so forth. He may have a low opinion of the other monarchs of the world but he clearly believes that system is sound and right. Wether that's true in the context of this universe is debatable but at least one of the many real-world flaws with this kind of thinking is apparent in-comic: as soon as the strongman was out of the picture all the issues he had put a lid on resurfaced as if he had never been there, namely all the madboys started rebelling even without the influence of the Other.
