This is correct.
The fact of the matter is capitalism has failed as was inevitable. Its now been proven that capitalism, even with socialist elements mixed in, simply does not work. Some of the best countries in the world, such as Sweden, now experience the rise of the far right.
The only solution is to abandon capitalism entirely.
Sexism and racism are the actual problem, it's the manufactured fear reaction to non-white, non-male ascendancy in politics now that people of color and women ARE becoming economically and politically successful. Most of the liberal democracies in the west were okay with immigration and equality UNTIL those who benefitted from reachng for it started to threaten the idea of the ruling white male paradigm.
Thing is the fear reaction always rises up, becomes malignant to the right and implodes it. Seen this one play out countless times in ways large and small for well over 5 decades.
