As it stands capitalism would have failed twice already if not for those facts. Once in the 1920's and just recently in 2007. Even if it succeeds now, it's not sustainable.

To be honest capitalism is dead, it died when it was replaced by corporatism. Consumerism is a delusion pulled before our eyes, making us believe we have something called an 'economy', however it's nothing more than the destruction of the planet for the sake of short term profit.
Now that consumerism is also dying, the banks have taken total and utter control of everything we are left with what Mussolini's envisioned: fascism. We are running down this path so quickly, screaming Hallelujah it's frightening, with those who still cling to the illusion we have something called 'free market capitalism' that they don't understand we have corporate communism. But tell them that free market capitalism can't possibly exist with bailouts, grants and the government propping corrupt corporations, and they have a seizure.
