View submission: Trumpism, here to stay?
Serious question, what made it seem defeatist to you? Perhaps I need to reexamine how I write if that's the message being conveyed.

Calling it a cycle is magical thinking and at best highly idealized. I suggest you read more into dialectical materialism. You are close in that there are dialectics and contradictions at play but you ascribe them to “human nature” meaning that we cannot break free of this “cycle”. This is a limitation on action and is ultimately defeatist.
