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.

This is ANCIENT. Plato wrote this in Republic.

ETA: It has been a while, so I don’t know the exact order Plato’s cycle has.

In the Republic, it basically goes: aristocracy (of philosophers) -> aristocracy (of warriors) -> oligarchy -> democracy -> tyranny
