We need an entirely new genre that can showcase oligarchical villains - the idea that authority in the hands of committees and headless power is destructive and anti-human. The biggest uphill fight we have is the cultural idea that a sure villain tell one man having authority

Not "new": this is Ayn Rand! Okay, she never became a "genre", and you would want our heroes to have an explicit hierarchy, rather than an implicit one that pretends to be self-interested trade. (No one believes Eddie Willers is independent, but you're not supposed to say it.)

Good point - she is to my recollection unique in making villains oligarchical. She's still very anti-hierarchy and group loyalty; finding a good lord to take orders from then loyally following him is a virtue contra her position on it.

Contra her explicit position on it but in line with her implicit position on it with Eddie Willers (as you pointed out)
