Thesr kind of regimes are in a state of constant implosion because they can't trust each others.
The only thing that stops them from collapsing is the outward pressure of being disappeared without being able to trust anyone else.
Challenging the status quo to them is basically suicide.
Eventually many loyal disappear and are replaced with new members. This new layer is consumed at a very fast rate but still takes a while to disappear
The only way it collapses is when the center concentrates so much power, without needing to disappear anyone because all possible traitors are gone, that is akin to an iron fist.
That's when the upper layers start collapsing on the core
