Rules: you’re not allowed to say “never.” We already know it’s possible it will end when everyone dies because of nuclear war or climate change or some other disaster. Name a specific year (within this century plz) and describe why capitalism will end at that time. Whoever is closest will get an extra food coupon at the local worker canteen. If you joke around I will be extremely disappointed in you :heartbreaking:
2035
I can think of a bunch of very unlikely developments that could push that out (new technologies with as much potential as the internet, somehow space exploitation actually works out, imperial core copies belt and road initiative, investors actually pivot into the metaverse). But otherwise capital has to expand, the only direction left to expand is into our flesh, and there's only so much of that available.
Also that's my prediction for when capitalism ends as the dominant mode of production. Capitalism is never going away fully. Occasionally some well-meaning hucksters will reinvent it for a while until a historian can swoop in and be like, "No, you fools!"
