You’re not, historically-speaking. The only preventative measures these countries can take is to prevent people getting a controlling amount of wealth so begin with. The people currently in power are not just going to give it up; either they will shift towards fascism and/or they will try to sabotage any and all socialist movements, usually either by trying to make them social democrats instead, or they try to discredit the organizations by calling them extremists, niche, and not covering them on the newsmedia.
Right now, we’re facing fascism in many countries due to the wealthy/powerful working overtime since at least Thatcher/Reagan to deregulate and make the wealthy more wealthy and specifically to make the middle class disappear so everyone will be poor.
The wealthy relies on a reserve army of labor to exploit their workers. Without desparation, workers might start asking for stuff like “rights” and “a livage wage.”
Another issue is people en masse won’t fight for any injustice unless it personally affects them. A big reason why is explained in the paragraph above about desparation.
Empathy is a learned skill, and capitalism actively discourages empathy just by the way it functions. Even pro-capitalist people will agree to this point, but they will phrase it as “greed is good.”
