amnestywheel

/ˈæmnəstiˌwiːl/nounVerified New

The rotating arrangement by which political crimes are prosecuted, then amnestied, then prosecuted again as power shifts.

Each turn of the wheel frees yesterday's perpetrators and jails yesterday's advocates. The wheel's only constant is motion.

Etym. — amnesty + wheel; justice as rotation rather than progress.
