Refluxistas

Refluxistas are individuals who advocate for or practice a concept known as "refluxism." This term, while not widely established in academic or mainstream discourse, is sometimes used to describe a perspective that emphasizes the cyclical nature of societal, economic, or cultural trends. Proponents of this idea often suggest that history does not necessarily progress linearly but rather moves in a series of waves or cycles, with periods of expansion followed by contraction, or growth giving way to decline, and then a subsequent resurgence.

The core idea of refluxism is that certain phenomena, such as political ideologies, artistic movements, or economic policies, tend to reappear or "reflux" after periods of apparent departure. This can be observed in various contexts, from the return of certain architectural styles to the resurgence of philosophical ideas that were once considered obsolete. Those who identify with or are described as refluxistas might analyze current events through the lens of these recurring patterns, suggesting that understanding past cycles can provide insights into present challenges and future possibilities. They may argue against the notion of absolute progress, instead positing a more dynamic and recurring model of change. The term itself is relatively niche and its usage can vary depending on the specific context in which it is employed, often appearing in less formal discussions or online communities exploring historical and societal patterns.
