Just like Marx himself, I feel that today we woefully underestimate capitalism's capability to endlessly adapt itself to changing material and political conditions.

Like, I was about to make the joke "The first part will definitely happen" to imply that the second part will only happen with a lot of effort on our part. But now that I'm thinking about it... Neither of these things will happen without a lot of effort on our part. And even then, probably not in our lifetimes.
