Summary

This quote suggests that politics is a cyclical process that swings back and forth between extreme chaos (anarchy) and authoritative control (tyranny). These swings are driven by the constant revival of unrealistic and idealistic beliefs. It implies that society tends to oscillate between periods of disorder and periods of oppressive governance, as people's hopes and aspirations for a perfect political system are repeatedly shattered and renewed. The quote underscores the idea that politics is characterized by a perpetual cycle of disillusionment and the continuous search for an idealized form of governance.
