“history doesn’t repeat but it rhymes” is honestly one of my favourite phrases bc of how concisely it encapsulates the dialectical materialist critique of metaphysical/cyclical models of history.
Indeed, there are similar trends, but there’s also the dialectic at play where a new synthesis constantly emerges. It’s just just the same thing repeating over and over.
history rhymes :)
