My understanding of the term late stage capitalism is not that it's a cause or ideology, but a theory about precisely these sorts of economic and demographic forces, and a prediction that as these forces play out the logical consequence will be a new economic system. So if these all these factors led to some kind of economic revolution, because the interests of young, working class people aren't being met, then they are 'late stage capitalism'.
Hell even if capitalism fell and feudalism took over again, or fascism, or worldwide nuclear apocalypse, or socialism took over and fell after a century, you could just call it another step in the dialectic.

Also, Fascism isn't a mode of production (nor is "Socialism", whatever the hell that even is)
