Our political systems are governed by human nature. They are the structures created to contain expression of human nature. As such they evolve over time. There is a cycle: revolution -> democracy -> socialism -> communism -> revolution.

Democracy

Alexander Fraser Tytler recognized the impermanence of democracy. In the quote below he describes it and gives a transition cycle (emphasized) somewhat more elaborate than mine.:

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.
