What reason would westerns have to revolt? It doesn’t matter how miserable they are, they’ll accept it as long as they can get their next day shipping and tropical fruits in the winter. And when that ends due to climate change, they’ll just kill everyone then themselves like a spoiled brat.
I think many people think of “revolution” the same way liberals think of “democracy.” They’re not inherently good. They’re simply tools. A revolution may happen, but it won’t be socialist. Based on the historic and current reactions of the west when they’re confronted with their crimes, greed, hatred, and arrogance, I would easily bet that it’ll become (more) fascist.
There are no fascist "revolutions", only counter revolutions.
