Do you have any thoughts about the future of dystopia after capitalism in the near future? Will there be a new system? If so, what will it look like? Will it resemble capitalism or socialism? There are events almost everywhere now. Hong Kong, France, Venezuela, Iraq, Azerbaijan etc. All due to income distribution inequality. When robots start production in non-light factories, when artificial intelligence takes over, can hungry people and well-off people live together without war? Will rich people hide in shelters and defend themselves with automated weapons? Or is the recently accelerated space race to actually get away? Or will capitalism 2.0 come after everything has been reset and everything will continue? If you have children, how do you plan to prepare for this near future?

Universal basic income will have to take hold at some point I think. There is just too much comfort in developed countries now that it's sort of pointless and wasteful for so many people to be working. This UBI will likely drive more inequality, though
At the same time, I think people want to work and feel useful even if there doesn't exist any useful job for them. They need a sense of self worth, and status. Solving that problem is going to be much harder than providing the basics.

Karl Marx should be on your reading list. Das Kapital deals specifically this question you asked. You might say his thoughts are dangerous, but as a philosophy it makes total sense if you start connecting what he says 100 years ago with what’s happening now.
Powerful people were intimidated by his ideas - as they stripped those traditionally powerful people of power. That’s why they smeared his name and created scary narratives in the US tied to the outcome of his ideas
Globalism as an ideology
Have you read all these books? If yes, you should have a better answer to your question than all of us
Not all of them, but they are waiting for their turn in my library. But even if we read and watch them all, people's ideas are more important.
I disagree. Informed opinions and ideas are more important
