Like, will the wealthy turn on each other since killing another one percenter and taking his poo poo will be the only way for them to continue increasing their net worth?

that's what corporate welfare is for. the government has a big trillion dollar clearance every couple decades to drag it out, as the economic engine slowly dies. our economy has nothing to do with capitalism or people buying stuff at this point people are already too poor, so it's totally dependent upon debt now

As the head of Warren Buffet topples off his now limp body, Bill Gates raises his keyboard high into the sky and laughs maniacally as trillions of dollars fall from the sky and are absorbed into his body. He finally did it. He is the one. The only one. Gates adjusts his blood-smeared glasses and slowly trudges back to his castle mansion overlooking the apocalyptic ruins of Seattle, each footstep crushing the skulls of former millionaires and billionaires who were too weak to stand against him.

If he missed- no Sunday dinner my grandfather had a depression story where his mom would go to the butcher shop and buy a bag of turkey guts for 5 cents once a week, and would make soup out of them and that's all they would have to eat for a few days. One day the butcher asked her what she does with all those turkey guts and she told him her turkey soup recipe. The next week she went back and the butcher said that he had no turkey guts to sell, and there was a new sign in the window that said " bowl of turkey soup 5 cents"

capitalism generally solves this crisis by destroying the productive capacity (machines, factories), and productive people. that way the logic of capitalism can be preserved by rebuilding the old productive capacity. see WW2
