Are you saying that Capitalism absolutely must fall and be replaced with Socialism or that Capitalism will probably fall and probably be replaced by Socialism? How do you know either one, does the difference between the two matter or is there some other logic being applied here? Human social order seems too complex to predict its trajectory with any degree of certainty.
