The meme isn't about the fall of the USA. It's about the fall of capitalism.

Dont get me wront capitalism and other problems are bigger than america and what not. But this meme is specifically about the USA and cocaine.

Edit: IN not IS

It says "priestly caste called businessmen". Ergo, for that to be a thing of the past, there need to be no more businessmen, not no more USA.

Why wouldn't the internet survive the fall of capitalism? It started in universities wanting to share information faster, not for profit.

Because the fall of capitalism is unlikely to be peaceful and attacking core infrastructure like the Internet is a tactic that either side may wish to use in an armed conflict. Not the best reason, maybe, but there it is.
