I think this is exactly the post someone would write in 2003 about millennials after the dotcom bubble, 9/11 and the wars. In that post they even somehow predicted the 2008 crisis. Look at where we are now.
In order to rebel there must be an alternative and there is no alternative because the AES aren't as big an influence as the USSR was in the 1950s. The US was actualy worried about communism back then.
The US is not worried about "Socialism with Chinese characteristics", apart from dipshits at the Fed and media being the mouthpieces of neoliberals nobody actualy cares about what China is doing.
Even if we assumed China is a perfect model to follow, there is already a generational fear since 2019. China will always be the social credit, communism is when cartoon bear owns you etc. Now after COVID every good government initiative is somehow draconian and evil because they resemble the evil SEESEEPEE.
If you want a optimistic prediction maybe when the first huge climate crisis occurs(e.g blue ocean event) there will be significant protests against some parts of the economy. Maybe eventualy the oil industry will take a hit because it will be politically unsustainable. Does that mean they're rebelling against capitalism? The media will push that. "Oh no the young generation are anti-capitalist because checks notes they don't want to die due to some shit industry destroying the planet" is a headline from an article around 15-30 years from now. Yeah because communism is when you have a green energy policy.
