The implication that capitalism is collapsing implies something else is replacing it or that mankind itself is about to end, which is foolishly short-sighted. What's going to happen is widespread avoidable suffering, Capitalism will continue on.
If a building collapses, it collapses. There is no "implication" anything will be built to replace it. Mankind won't end, but human civilization as we know it most certainly will, and pretty soon. There will be pockets of people everywhere who know how to survive. But hypermaterialism will not, and cannot, survive, as a matter of the same mathematical calculations the whole system is based on.
If every building collapsed people would not just abandon the concept of buildings.
