No it won't.

Even if society collapsed worldwide, capitalism would not end. In fact, if society as we know it collapsed, capitalism would be even stronger, for these reasons:

1) If society completely disintegrated and we all wound up in some apocalyptic return to medieval levels of tech, people would work out some sort of system of exchange of goods and services. Even if you're bartering a goat for a bushel of corn or something, that's capitalism.

2) If society only partially disintegrates, there would be a lot of power vacuums that would be filled, and they would be filled by people with great resources. That is to say, the capitalists would stock up on guns and ammo and then you'd have even worse capitalism.

3) Based on the past record of attempts at communism across this world, everyone who likes art better hope the hell that communism does NOT succeed, as that would mean that art production would drop next to nothing, and most of what remained would be all the stuff that promotes whatever totalitarian state is running the show. Back in the day Soviets would smuggle Western rock and jazz into the USSR and distribute it by cutting it onto used X-ray film, because all the interesting music was banned. I don't think we want to be doing roentgenizdat or its equivalent these days.
