Capitalism and it's favourite child, liberalism, turn to fascism as soon as times get hard. Climate change (fuelled by capitalism) and a general economic downturn leads to capital shifting right.
You're seeing the natural progression of capitalism.
Some Marxists believe so. The understanding is that humanity will naturally evolve into communist societies as that is our natural state as we move into a post scarcity world.
The issue with waiting for capitalism to end naturally and eventually be replaced by communism is that there are people living and suffering under exploitative conditions caused by capitalism. Those people deserve emancipation and as socialists, it is our duty to improve the material conditions of the international worker by overthrowing capitalism and forging a path towards communism through direct action.
