We’re obviously at a point of capitalist crisis not in the “economy shat the bed again” category that happens every decade but more like the Keynesian and Neoliberal turns. Fundamentally this model of capitalist organization is becoming less viable. Major challenges precipitating this are China’s rise, climate crisis, and the decline of neocolonial institutions/frameworks like Israel as USA’s MENA FOB and the petrodollar/Saudi system, with cracks also forming in Africa spearheaded by Burkina Faso/Sahel phasing out CFA franc, more Chinese capital flowing in.
What comes next in capitalism needs to contend with another power/bloc in the world, one which liberal internationalist institutionalist actions (think color revolutions or NGO warfare) can’t overthrow. It needs to be willing and able to respond to changes caused by climate. Since the US is head of the bourgeois system, it’s going to go harder into oil. They will be putting together the methods for genocide against the third world, essentially, as poor people down the southern way seek to flee the warming disease created by global capitalism’s need for more and more and more.
All and all, I predict this new form of capitalist organization will be techno-fascism. Not an appropriate term, but it’s the best I’ve got. Fundamentally the organization of this system in our times must mirror the death drive FULLY and in ALL OF ITS TERROR.
