I don't know about "unbeatable." It's true that capitalism drives to control all skill, to destroy worker-controlled skills, i.e., to deskill labor (following Marx & Braverman). But workers develop new skills. So the class struggle isn't totally over. Also, there are particularly capitalist kinds of creativity, like Trump or Enron or Soros or Ponzi. These aren't abolished.
