Ok, this is great. I think it's pertinent to sketch out the possible ways to move forward from here, and it seems perfectly clear that we can't simply go back to classical growth-based capitalism however one squares it. Because we are indeed at some form of turning point here, the old order is crumbling in ways far beyond those imagined during the 60s, disrupting structures of power in place for many centuries.
I think you're spot on with that shorthand definition as well, framing capitalism as inherently extractive. However, one could add that it's incredibly effective along a one-dimensional axis due to its inherent tendency towards cumulative growth (which is why it's also so destructive). This is a great resource reflecting on contemporary end-stage capitalism:
