Marx warned that capitalism had built within it the seeds of its own destruction.

there would come a day when capitalism would exhaust its potential and collapse. he did not know when that day would come.

Marx was an astronomer of history, not an astrologer. he was keenly aware of capitalism's ability to innovate and adapt. but he also knew that capitalist expansion was not eternally sustainable. and as we witness the denouement of capitalism, Marx is vindicated as the system's most prescient and important critic.
 
There hasn't been anything approaching laissez-faire capitalism in Murica in at least a century.
 
socialism is not possible until capitalism has exhausted its ability to expand and increase profits. that the end is coming is hard to dispute, and i challenge anyone to dispute it. American capitalism, in its final iteration, may replicate China's totalitarian capitalism, a brutal system sustained by severe repression where workers are modern-day serfs.
 
Capitalism may end....but they'll have to round up all the guns first. No doubt they will at some point.

Why is capitalism unsustainable? Why will profits not continue growing long-term?

Be as specific as you can.

He was a whiney twat.

a 2015 editorial in the NYT headlined "Banks As Felons, or Criminality Lite" gives you a window into what Marx would call the late stages of capitalism.

"As of this week, Citicorp, JPMorgan Chase, Barclays and Royal Bank of Scotland are felons, having pleaded guilty on Wednesday to criminal charges of conspiring to rig the value of the world’s currencies. According to the Justice Department, the lengthy and lucrative conspiracy enabled the banks to pad their profits without regard to fairness, the law or the public good. the banks will pay fines totaling about $9 billion, assessed by the Justice Department as well as state, federal and foreign regulators. That seems like a sweet deal for a scam that lasted for at least five years, from the end of 2007 to the beginning of 2013, during which the banks’ revenue from foreign exchange was some $85 billion."

We just need to get rid of all the cronyism. Get politicians out of business!

Capitalism is going to end because a few banks were fined? Wow!

That's funny.

On the other hand he was wrong because of the e m b o u r g e o i s e m e n t of the working class, in other words the unions and politicians and businessman basically bringing workers into the middle class so they wouldn't revolt. Now the idiot greedy GOP is trying to undo that... And the dupes go along because of their All American patriotism and Independence and basically brainwashed idiocy... After 35 years of give away to the rich we have the worst upward Mobility and inequality in our history and if they keep it up...

Every 'system' has it's flaws; that is without exception.

at a certain point it will get so bad that the Democrats will get in with real control (for more than a few weeks) for the first time since LBJ and we'll fix this Savage capitalist mess. See $15 minimum wage Health Care daycare paid parental leave, good infrastructure and vacations, cheap college and training, and mainly having the rich pay more like their fair share...

capitalism would, Marx said, turn on the so-called free market. along with the values and traditions it claims to defend. it would in its final stages pillage the systems and structures that made capitalism possible. it would resort, as it causes widespread suffering, to harsher forms of repression to maintain social control. it would attempt, in a frantic last stand, to extract profit by looting and pillaging state institutions, contradicting its stated nature.

Venezuela is a third world oil economy country that was ruined by the GOP corrupt World depression of 2008 and American covert sabotage since, super duper.
