I think that's the best we can hope for; a stable condition due to the exact balance of opposing forces and interests. Thats what our own founders hoped to achieve, and that we are now seeing break down.

This kind of political and social equilibrium is inherently unstable, because conditions change randomly and it is unlikely that all the contending factions will respond to those changes in a way that tends to maintain the balance between them. Feedback mechanisms play a major role in the stability, as well as the breakdown, of these systems.

However, different forms of dynamic equilibrium may dominate for substantial periods of time. Things may remain static, or very gradually change, or oscillate about some mean, eiher regularly or erratically. Sometimes you even get semi-stable combinations of these.

Conversely, you may get also increasingly violent swings or oscillations, catastrophic crashes, exponential runs, and a variety of other kinds of instability.

Stars do this. Unless they go supernova.
