To bad capitalism an incredible ability to reinvent itself at every crisis.

I recommend you read the section "11. CAPITAL AND THE DESTINY OF CAPITALISM" of the introduction to Capital vol. 1 (Penguin Classics version), written by Ernest Mandel. You are basically regurgitating what he calls:

ridicule by a monotonous succession of authors in the last decades

Yes, they are absolutely not my words. Although I wrote it so awkwardly they might as well be 😁

Is it reinventing itself when it’s just a rehash of the same old fascist tendencies?

I try not to throw such strong words around but it's not meant to be a rehash, more like evolution. Like when a bacteria becomes immune to certain antibiotics.

"no universal selfishness can bring social good to all" is a fantastic quote

Krishnamurti noted that "It is no measure of mental health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society," and I think capitalism feeds on a profoundly sick society.
