Why is this definitely true? Other economic/societal systems have fallen in the past. Why does that mean this one has to? Or is there some other reason why this statement is true?
I'm not trying to cast doubt upon this idea. I'm just trying to find out its justification, from a scientific perspective.
Cheers.
It is not guaranteed that capitalism will be replaced by a better system. But it is guaranteed that capitalism will eventually collapse and end, be it through ecological disaster, the culmination of its own inherent contradictions, popular revolution, or the sun going nova and wiping out the solar system anyway.
