The changing nature of social cycles means that one class is always dominant just as a wave has a peak that is not flat.

A society with a dominant worker class will likely push for worker interests, just as one dominated by traders will push for business interests. This leads to liberalism, and neoliberalism respectively.

Single Dominant

W-Wa-T-TrNameWhy
1-3-2-2Military JuntaLabor suppressed, force dominant, everything else just ticking along
1-2-3-2Technocracy or Scholastic BureaucracyIdeas rule, workers are undervalued, force is modest
1-2-2-3Plutocracy or Corporate OligarchyTrade dominant, labor devalued — rule by capital, not by the people who make things
3-1-2-2Socialist RepublicLabor exalted, military minimized — the workers’ commonwealth
2-1-3-2Platonic RepublicPhilosopher-rule: ideas high, force deliberately low
2-1-2-3Democratic Socialismtrade allowed to lead, but force restrained
3-2-1-2Populist NationalismWorker-glorifying, anti-intellectual, moderate force and trade
2-3-1-2Fascist Corporatism or PraetorianismForce rules for its own sake — no ideology, no worker cult, just the strongman
2-2-1-3MercantilismTrade is king, thinkers are irrelevant to the state
3-2-2-1State SocialismLabor exalted, markets suppressed, force at a normal level
2-3-2-1Feudalismforce and land dominate, commerce stifled
2-2-3-1Theocratic RepublicThought/faith elevated, markets suppressed, force ordinary

Dual-Dominant

Two classes hold maximum power (3) while two are suppressed (1).
