What prevents socialism from replacing capitalism, and how to change this reality

Class consciousness and participatory democracy for a social and ecological political economy. Class consciousness must be the unifying force behind any political movement capable of competing with the capitalist order. Class consciousness involves understanding the systemic roots of individuation, tribalization, atomization, and instrumentalization that divide people who have everything to gain from being united in leading the struggle for a post-imperialist and post-capitalist society and civilization. The birth of neoliberalism The Mont Pèlerin Society (MPS) was founded in 1947 at the first conference, organized by Professor Friedrich Hayek, at Mont Pèlerin, overlooking Lake Geneva. The society's founders include Friedrich Hayek, Frank Knight, Karl Popper, Ludwig von Mises, George Stigler, and Milton Friedman, among others. Mont Pèlerin 1947: Transcripts of the Founding Meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society https://www.hoover.org/research/mont-pelerin-1947-transcripts-founding-meeting-mont-pelerin-society "Neoliberalism is…a theory of political economic practices that proposes that human wellbeing can be best advanced by liberating individual entrepreneurial freedoms and skills within an institutional framework characterized by strong private property rights, free markets, and free trade. The role of the state is to create…an institutional framework appropriate to such practices." David Harvey, A Brief History of Neoliberalism, p. 2. "Instead, we confront a new form of capitalist order: the merger between the biggest corporations and the state. The corporate power dominates nations by hollowing out and commandeering the institutions that were supposed to represent people. Economic decisions are made behind closed doors at the Treasury Department or Federal Reserve where bankers rule and regular citizens dare not go. The same power operates on the global stage through international institutions and regulatory bodies that do not even pretend to be democratic such as WTO, IMF, and World Bank. Corporate power tends toward fascism by destroying democracy and imposing austerity — the very conditions that give fascism mass appeal. The national and global institutions that have been so essential to the creation of the neoliberal order provide rich evidence that we can no longer tell where governments end and corporations begin." https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/01/11/neoliberalism-free-market-fundamentalism-or-corporate-power/
