Very interesting, many-sided article. I found your first spiral exactly reflecting the life of my native county and my own. Visionary - Lenin. Revolutionary- his vision was embodied into bloody revolution of 1917. Evolutionary- Stalin purges, Collectivization, Industrialization. Last stop- XAOS , (you write and explain it in in Russian sense), USSR collapsed. Nostalgic- I am here, in US, write my memoir Wrong Country and vey nostalgic about my wrong country.
The aspects of your second scheme I didn't comprehend. World history shows that not one country ever depended on cultural or philosophical systems but only political and economical, starting from slavery.
Now, Biden or not Biden, from the practical POV, I never saw this rich country in worse position than now. I go to a supermarket and see old pensioners. Instead of enjoying their best time in life, they are standing their 8-hour shift on their old week legs, serving the rest of us. Of course, it's not philosophical topic, sorry for such a prosaism, but I feel ashamed looking at them and it becomes political because this picture reminds me the ruined itself Soviet socialism.

An interesting take.
