--re <<there is no rule of law>>
i agree. there is the rule of the game.--

or maybe the rule of the game = the rule of God's will:

...This idea of Providential Deity has a number of results. There is
no rule of law; there is only the rule of God’s will.

...In Providential Monarchy you get the rule of will. Their slogan
became, “one God in heaven; one ruler on earth,” which meant that
Providential Monarchs frequently tried to conquer the world. I have
already said that Jenghiz Khan was the greatest of them. His
government, his army, his whole attitude are very much worth
studying; his organization was a magnificent machine for world
conquest and world rule as the vicar of heaven on earth..
