What you describe is the core of Marx's assertion that capitalism would collapse, as described in Capital, hinted at in the Manifesto, and other things. In fact, as I recall, Marx's "proof" of capitalism's inevitable demise and the nature of the socialist aftermath was, as he wrote in a letter to Engels, his proudest and surest achievement. I wish I could find it, but apparently my Google-fu is lacking today.
