Capitalism is doomed in the long run. You can't have endless growth without consequences. The solution is going to have to be something that humanity hasn't really come up with yet. It will be an evolution over the course of this century. Just like no one could have predicted the information age 100 years ago, no one now can really get a handle on what the world situation will be toward the middle and end of this century. Technology is a huge wild card. It seems to be progressing in an exponential fashion and will have huge impacts on agriculture, health, energy etc.

Capitalism isn't doomed because of this. Honestly as far as growth, especially in population, free market capitalism is the best shot at the technological innovation needed to combat the upcoming problems.
Unless we find a way for better space travel to find other inhabitable planets..disease epidemics or world war will reduce the population to sustainable levels way before capitalism ever disappears.
The only other path is complete control of the people by world Governments..like Agenda 21 type stuff where the Gov't gives you everything in rations, and all you do is wake up, work to produce, and go home. Eugenics, food rationing, media control, etc. If it comes to this, I'll go down fighting before i subject myself to such a world.

I agree with some of your points, but what system is better? I think groups like this need to focus more on how money works and/or what is an alternative to debt based infinite growth models. I disagree with you that "technology" will save us. Technology is really just another way to use energy. Once cheap energy goes away, the whole thing will collapse. I don't think it is decades away. I think it is years away.

Everything comes and goes in time but to think capitalism will like a candle burn out never to return is laughable at best.

Starvation has been around a long long time.
How are those countries that believe in Communism and Socialism doing economically? What new ideas have come out of the Obama think tank?
