As long as the profit rate can be resuscitated by destruction of dead capital. With the prospect of nuclear annihilation behind any third world war, I'd say capitalism's path out of its current long depression is very limited.

lets be real and change 'decades' for 'centuries'

At this trajectory we'll be dead in one century or so

This. Tick tock.

Cockshott has a good video on this particular phenomenon, whilst he doesn't explicitly mention war, you can see by implication of the formula for the accumulation cycle of capital by Kalecki that reducing capital (ie destroying it) increases purchase orders ie capital investments.
I = m(L + A) - nK
Where I is the number of investment orders and K is extant capital, watch the video for the rest.

Falling rate of profit can be mitigated by another world war, or two. Alternatively capitalists can switch to rent-seeking instead of capital accumulation. Modern incarnations like Netflix already function in that way, late stage capitalism is mostly rent-seeking.
Art the current rate of acceleration we can observe the last one hundred years it's very unlikely that it will be more than a century. Capitalism develops much more rapidly than feudalism, feudalism in decay still needed three centuries to finally break down because development was much slower than in capitalism.

As long as human life is possible on this planet. It won't last more than five more decades.

If you kill all boomer faggots, chances are it will collapse in 5 decades. Otherwise, until the earth becomes the new venus via climate change.

Capitalism will fall when Socdem Female of Colour® comes to power
