The idea is, there are seven stages of governance for people.
1. Monarchy, 2. Kingship, 3. Tyranny, 4. Aristocracy, 5. Oligarchy, 6. Democracy, and 7. Ochlocracy
The cycle just endlessly repeats itself through time.
We're really talking the same thing...as they come from the same school. Point being that there are "natural" cycles to human organization and that recognizing them is important.
I don't know if there is a way, or if it's even desirable to stop them.
I agree and I think this theory is absolutely correct, and we're seeing it in action right now.
I think the US is at the last stage right now. Which very oddly means, North Korea is now closer to democracy than the US is.
Hear me out, I think the US is going to have to go back through all the cycles before going back to democracy. Whereas a country like North Korea is further along the cycles.
