'All democracies turn into dictatorships—but not by coup. The people give their democracy to a dictator.' - George Lucas on the Clone Wars

Anacyclosis is a political theory that describes the cyclical nature of political systems, suggesting that governments progress through a series of stages from monarchy to tyranny, then to aristocracy, democracy, and eventually back to monarchy. This concept emphasizes the inevitable decline of political systems as they shift between these forms, influenced by internal and external factors.
