When Lacan says "the Other does not exist," or "there is no Other behind the Other," isn't he also saying that the Symbolic order is stupid, vulnerable, powerless, and propped up by our sense of subjectivity. Like how conspiracy theory is the greatest conspiracy itself because it assumes that there is a cabal of powerful individuals that control the world working in dark rooms behind the scenes? When, for Lacan, power doesn't work this way.
