I hate the term "late-stage capitalism" especially in common usage. It just dilutes the critique at this point
I think it serves as a good term for newer leftists who may not be fully convinced in anti-capitalist views yet. It's a less extreme position to be against the current manifestation of capitalism and focus on how we are approaching a more and more dystopic near future than capitalism entirely.
Once someone is convinced late stage capitalism is bad, we can't let this continue and that reformism is not enough, the next step is to convince them capitalism was also a problem in it's earlier stages, for them to analyse history and read the fundamental theory.
