I surely hope so. Capitalism was never intended to be lasting.
people don't seem to understand that the profit motive has never been the driving force of capitalism.
capitalism is at it's most base level is just private property rights and it still works exceptionally well.
the lie that was sold to the public may be dying but capitalism isn't going anywhere.
ownership of property gives you power over it. if an individual owns a factory, they can influence how that factory operates. little by little, that control allows the individual to benefit themselves. and they can use that benefit to accumulate more property and therefore more power.
if you have private property rights, then a dictatorship is eventually inevitable. It's simple cause and effect.
