Sorry Steve - I dn't finish either
"The fight to overturn capitalism will have to wait."
It doesn't work like that - nobody has ever "set out to destroy capitalism" and won
Systems die when they have run their natural course and can no longer sustain themselves - both Russia and China are prime examples - both were the result of World wars, though it took longer for the Chinese left to get their act together

All the indications now - increasing poverty in Britain widening of the gap between haves and have nos, the option of take whatever job is on offer or do without, the massive contradiction that, wherever there is work, accommodation is so expensive that workers can't afford to live there, no longer having a base of a national industrial system which means that we can never be self-supporting... are all signs of dying system.
If the people's representatives don't do something about it, there are plenty more that will - enough examples of that - even in the E.U. to show that to be the case
GOOD SONG THIS (DESPITE THE SPELLING MISTAKE
