You need to stop reading revisionist history books.

WWI was fought between liberal democracies and monarchies.
The monarchies lost or failed. The Ottomans, Germans, and Austrians to military defeat. The Russians collapsed in on themselves.
Command economy authoritarianism was defeated by liberal democracy as well without shots fired.
You are trying to paint a "vs." theme. I'm not. I'm stating in broad terms what's happened just like what's happening now.
