Frankly, I believe that capitalism is the strongest it has ever been, and will continuously grow ever-stronger, with stock market indexes growing ever higher relative to wages, signaling a seemingly unstoppable wealth accumulation towards the capitalist class. Deteriorating labor conditions are not a signal of bourgeois weakness, but a show of strength, and workers need to also gather strength if they are to fight back. You might make the argument that unionization only serves to make labor safe for Capital, and that's true to a large degree, but I see no other solution on the horizon.

By the way, I think you got downvoted because using a Marxist technical term such as "late capitalism" without proper elaboration only serves as flamebait. Those who are not already familiar with the theory have very likely only seen them in the context of Marxists airing their grievances on social media and/or aggressively engaging with Conservatives.
