Have you read Braudel or other early histories of capitalism? It's not quite that clean. In mercantilist pre-modern form it managed to bootstrap slavery and militarist colonialism without much of an ideological egghead air cover going.
Here, it's going to correct itself whether or not anyone does anything. There is basically no equilibrium to be found at this level of inequality. One sign for example is that collapse of housing as an economic foundation since most people can't afford housing now.

I think housing markets are fairly efficient or they'll prob take care of themselves. my thing is climate chaos, famine, mass migration, this kind of stuff. there's no way to socialism this stuff away. there will be blood

I mean that as a sign that the equilibrium is unraveling. The US will shift from own to rent economy, foundation of personal financial security will shift to other assets, politics will get refactored as a result.
