What is end-stage capitalism? Under the nomenclature of "late-stage capitalism" the next stage is revolution, not "end-state".

"End-stage" is when there is no revolution because greed has killed everyone already.

Revolution is what the would-be proletariat persistently, but perhaps delusionally, assumes it will win (despite the 1% being able to afford more than enough bullets)… end-stage is when the cancer has gone past the point of fighting and you just have to resolve yourself to (in this case human-societal) death. A good sign it’s too late to seize the means of production is when the workers have medical devices that require an active and paid up subscription.

Occasionally, it does win. I think Marx tends to have a point about the inevitability of this given persistent class conflict, but this could play out over centuries rather than something we'll ever see.
