The cyclic nature of power means that whoever rules over someone is ruled by that person, thus cancelling the balance to negate it. However conflict will always be present because people always vie for supremacy regardless of this in order to be the one in the ruling power over the other. If democracy doesn’t learn this, our representative government will collapse into anarchy. And maybe that is the lesson, politically, that we should learn. We may need to study anarchy in some experimental form to right these imbalances of cyclic power that reinforce and negate each other perpetually.
Anarchy might prove the better government if it could be balanced instead of controlled. I think this is commonly where people quote Thomas Jefferson as being a philosophical anarchist but a political realist. I’m not in favor of political realism, nor idealism. I’m interested in discovering a way to create a balanced and unfillabke vacuum of power.
My views on this will change, though, as they have before. I really distrust power now, whereas before I would have been more easily seduced by it.
There is an anarchy of power and that is this present state. That may be every state possible.
A power dominion is such a state.
