I have seen this little 'film' before, and I always wondered why the film maker didn't go to the obvious ending, all governments end up in an Oligarchy, and then the cycle begins again. It might take longer with a republic, but even the Republic of Rome fell into an Oligarchy after time.

Governments seem to be cyclic.

Unless you believe in American-exceptionalism.
All government doesn't have to.

Most countries never get out of oligarchy.

Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Vietnam, China, and many others.

Israel is a good example of a republic that has not descended into democracy. Yet.
