It's not a natural cycle, and it's only happened once... certainly no way to establish a pattern.I will disagree. But the cycles are very long. I was born (1949) when union power was at its peak. It has been eroding ever since. I would expect that it will rebound in the next decades; so a cycle of ~ 100+ years?
We are entering a period where our socio-economic system is going to be drastically altered. Kinda like the feudal system shifting to the industrial revolution. We will probably revert back to something very like a feudal system, only with AI and machines taking the place of slaves, serfs, and peasants. Most humans will have a status similar to vermin... something that consumes resources and makes a mess, while producing nothing of worth.
