how can capitalism go away (and "be no more") without a mass movement
ready to replace it with something? I guess we could have Hobbesian
anarchy for awhile, but eventually capitalism would reemerge (unless
people create an alternative).

Capitalism can be in deep doo-doo for a long time (as in the 1930s)
without going away. The Wall Steeters were probably exagerrating to
get the dough, but there was also a real financial crisis.
