There's a permanent crisis. like Hapsburg Vienna, that (in Samir Amin's phrase) they can manage but never resolve. Insofar as we're talking about crises arising from contradictions most likely inherent in capitalism even absent antisystemic agency (realization or eco crises), don't see why they couldn't manage them profitably until the last tree is cut down to print the last ad in the last lad magazine. But a final panicky acute crisis arising from our revolutionary antisystemic agency shall one day prove unresolvable for them, in the bowels of the Lord I do believe.
