Capitalism being a dynamic, progressive system containing positive-feedback loops, rather than a homeostatic one, we can expect it to transition to a state where it ceases to exist.
The problem is that some of these possible states entail the disappearance of a good deal besides capitalism, like most or all human beings. One might, therefore, want to help it along to a less dramatic exit.
