Term limits were invented by ancient Greeks and Romans for the purpose of reducing infighting for the offices among the members of ruling class. Note how bourgeois historians are presenting ancient Athens in V century BCE as the classic example of democracy, while even if we ignore how classist that democracy was, it was explicitly a period when one person (Pericles) basically ruled as informal dictator and turned Delian League into actual empire.
