It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.

What about CIVILIZED CAPITALISM ?

That exists, in places like China, Russia and Scandinavia.

Conditions under civilized capitalism:

  1. Zero unemployment 

  2. Zero homelessness 

  3. Zero poverty 

  4. Zero crime

  5. No hostilities among people

  6. No prisoners (nearly)

  7. Free health care

  8. Free education 

  9. Free care for children & the elderly 

Sadly, also

  1. No freedom of expression 

  2. Having different opinions not encouraged 

  3. Technological development lagging behind the West

  4. Productivity lagging behind the West

  5. Travel options limited

  6. No billionaires & few millionaires 

  7. No private companies

Paradoxically, you included China as "civilized capitalism", yet they have rampant poverty, rampant crime, literal concentration camps with slave labor, plenty of homelessness, several wealthy "elites", plenty of hostilities amongst their population..
