You will. If an average person can say "I will fight," people will fight, if an average person can't say "I will fight," people wouldn't, and will be subverted by ones who can. That's the only hard truth there.
You people in the West, do not forget. Your freedom did not simply fall upon you from the sky once you reached some development level.
Your freedom was paid in blood, guts, and violence. This is a simple historical fact. What you call the developed West today had the biggest share of revolutions, civil wars, regular wars, and general social strife than the rest of the world combined over the last 200-300 years.
The shackles of slavery are very easy to put on, but extremely pricey to get rid of.
Historically, great injustices almost never quietly resolved on themselves. They were either ended by external influence, or failed catastrophically in a burst of extreme violence, like slave uprisings, serf revolts, revolutions, and such.
Some keep telling that lessons of the French revolution(s) are no longer relevant today, I'd say they are scarily getting more, and more relevant with each passing year.
