      Mistakes will be made and overzealous enforcers will be hired. This is going to blow up in their corporate faces.

        Sure, probably. But that’s what happens when you elect leopards and have faces.

        The point is to inspire fear and demand unwaivering loyalty. A little random violence against your own people helps tighten the inner circle around the leader, hoping for safety. Anyone outside the circle is surely doomed, and only the most loyal are surely protected. The leader is fickle and irascible, so be on your toes and never risk his ire.
