Everything is cyclical. It is like a wheel turning or the seasons changing.
I don't think that provides any excuse for authoritarianism or Fascism though. We may go through cycles of change that swing from one pole to the other, but when we realize that and apply ourselves, then that's all the reason to recognize the imbalance and use our knowledge, reason and logic, (and some consider a deeper spirituality or mind) to thwart the extremes and bring it back to a homeostasis.
The West seems to be great a what the Hopi's called Koyaanisqatsii, or life out of balance and out of touch with nature's way. We see this lack of recognition of how everything is interdependent as the results of the Anthropocene extinction phase, toxic chemical pollution and disturbances in the engine of weather.
Life does have its struggles, so finding our own center and inner peace and recharging our batteries can be found with the ability to detach often from The Spectacle since it seems to function in a way that intends to disturb that, (it bleeds it leads). We should consider that to maintain a system, (like democracy) it does require an informed and vigilant citizenry, so the cycles of political and economic change were already factored in long ago. They knew this and maybe we get lulled into a trance where we forget that necessity.
