Good - see now we're refining the argument we are building. 
Things which never end can be static, and contrary to what you have said cycles end. All the time. You can run a cycle a finite number of times - it is possible.
Controlling systems can sometimes endure because people don't know what they want.
You always know when authority is afraid because it lets murdurers roam the streets killing heretics whilst people who simply have "alternative" ideas are executed.
No regime can last, because regimes are weak to the type of revolution which caused them to come to power in the first place.
People only do 'something' when the pain of doing nothing out-weighs the pain of action. So never fear, never feel society is on a dwonward trend. Once that line is crossed as it always will be - people will act.
