On masse or totally?
I think the primary cases in which capitalism will fall out of dominance, will be when it empowers workers too much that they gain the ability too sieze and distribute the means of production. When the state is empowered too much and control of capital is siezed. When communities have too much self relience or capacity to accept hardships. When automation makes manual intervention by capitalist too costly to compete with.
Or we get corporations so large they become defacto states, and whether they are truely capitalist will be depend on what shapes those structures take.
Not sure which one will dominate though. Socialism, authoritarinsm, distrubtionism, singularity, or some other one that I'm just not aware of yet. It maybe some hybrid, dual or tri power structure too, undoubtedly there will be pockets of all of them.
If capitalism fails.
It will fail, inevitably. It's unsustainable.
Yeah yeah yeah... Capitalism bad, m'kay ? I only see it becoming stronger and stronger with the growth of huge companies like Google Amazon, apple, etc. That are already beyond national level.
As megacorporations swell, and disparity rises, so too does exploitation. Disparity rising is not a good thing. This leads to instability and collapse.
It'd been unsustainable for thousands of years, and yet here we are.
Commerce isnβt capitalism. Capitalism began with the Dutch East India Company.
