Answer:
Something that has helped us all since the the end of WWII is that totalitarian fascism like National Socialism has become a fringe ideology only supported by those on the extreme right, that does not have as much political viability as before.
This means than in most western nations, with a few exceptions, fascists have not been able to take over, and implement measures similar to those of Nazi Germany of Fascist Italy.
On the contrary, liberal democracy, with its defects and drawbacks, continues to have more credibility and to be the primary form of goverment in most western nations.
