I do not see any evidence that the present crisis is leading to a new system that is not capitalist. At most it will lead to some changes in existing capitalism involving regulation of financial markets globally if possible and more government involvement as a means of bailing out or hospitalizing ailing parts of the system until they recover and handed back to private profiteers.

Right. Instead of an "an infinity of individual pressures," what's
needed is concentrated collective pressure.
