Nothing today is outside of capitalism. Absolutely nothing. All of the global poor are part of the capitalist system. If consumer buying power goes down to subsistence levels then those workers can be exploited for lower wages, and the cycle of accumulation begins again. A lot of things ensure accumulation. Wars are one. The state itself is another. The state, responding to demands for jobs and demands for profit, will destroy or immiserate whoever or whatever it needs to in order to keep capitalism churning as it always has done. It will build in one place and destroy in another. The barbarism you can see coming on the horizon is just capitalism recreating itself. It does that regularly every few decades.
