Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Law of social cycle

The "Law of Social Cycle" should NOT be deleted. Although perhaps not readily consulted - it lays out a simple but accurate description of the history of the stages of advance and decline of nations and societies. There may be more elaborate descriptions than an agrarian society giving way to a warrior class which is in turn eventually give way to an intellectual class (represented by the Church slowly becoming more powerful than an army of knights - which eventually gives way to those who are not warriors, not intellectuals, but "aquisitors" who focus on concentrating wealth in fewer and fewer hands which gradually financially dominates more and more "workers" - until finally anger builds to a "revolution" (re-birth of a "warrior class") and "four social cycles" repeats - and repeats - and repeats, etc.

So don't take down the topic and the article developed around it. It tells the story of the advance and decline of every great nation albeit simplistically - but it paints a picture in the minds of a reader and that contributes to understanding without undue complexity.
