capitalism > communism bc basically runs itself. didn't need to be introduced through cataclysmic violence. gradually evolved out of political realities and common law vs. conceived as an ad hoc solution to the world at large by a resentful, egg-head, patronizing, false prophet.

Push come to shove, I'm probably a far more strident capitalist than you, but it has no real competitors anymore. Communism 2.0 etc is more history repeating itself as tragedy then as farce. Things like ancap aren't there yet. So we're in TINA zone.

The biggest threat to capitalism is actually its own past versions. The economic struggle now is between neoliberal globalism and protectionism, which are both flavors of capitalism.

my sense is the hard left is gaining, mostly due to despair. I'm an anti-marxist I guess, also sort of a recovering Marxist

Nah, it's just some superficial rhyming. There are no Stalins lurking behind the pronoun warriors, anymore than there are Hitlers lurking behind the proudboys. It's all idiots larping behind scary historical masks.
