If we view history through the lense of the Hegelian Dialectic, the 20th century happened out of order. If capitalism is the thesis, communism would be the antithesis. This should have been the main conflict of the 20th century (and by some metrics was), but was interrupted by World War II, when both ideologies allied against Fascism. Many would say that Fascism is the synthesis of capitalism and communism. If this is true, the capitalism/communism dialectic was hijacked by something that could beat them both.
Fascism may have lost militarily, but in many ways won ideologically, as both today's capitalist powers and communist powers have elements reminiscent of fascism, such as the mixed economy, welfare state, and corporatist model. If we are seeing the influences of fascism, the aborted synthesis, today, then how can we expect the grand dialectic of the 21st century to play out?

Real antitheses to capitalism must cease huffing the miasma of ideologies obscuring the what and whom of Capital, from whence they issue forth out of its pleroma.
