Whenever these proclamations stress me out, I remember this:
The atom of the economy is a human. There are almost 8 billion of us. We will continue to need shelter and food. We will continue to want better and better lives. There will always be booms and busts. But demand will never disappear.

That would especially be true in a collapse of today's world, where high-tech farming methods keeps us fed, and globalism keeps all of us wealthy and fat. If we can price the cost of keeping civilization (esp the biosphere) alive into our economies, then by God I'd say capitalism deserves to be crowned the GOAT of civilization organizing principles. Sadly, capitalism is failing terribly at this, and is in fact acting like ignorance is bliss. So dumb!
