There isn’t an end goal. The authoritarian leaders just want to have and keep power for as long as possible. That’s it. It’s not more complicated than that. It’s just power for the sake of power.
I’ve always thought that it’s a system of control for the sake of control. I would think such a system would acquire as much power as to ease the effort to control. I agree it’s a nihilistic system that subverts the potential of humanity.

kind of same “mentality” as cancer
Sure, but also all life. There isn’t a purpose to life except to reproduce and continue living.
I like to take a slightly more evolved view and think that the purpose of life is to enjoy it.
at the expense of anything and everything else?
Kinda… yeah. Nature is brutal
but does it have to be that way for intelligent beings? I dont think the endgame for that is very nice when you add technology to the mix
