IMO the change will be so profound that I doubt that we might have any historical systems that fit -
we may well have something completely different -
indeed, might we need a system at all??????
Perhaps we should look to other forms of life and see what economic systems or non systems they have.
I know that may sound off the planet or scale - but, so is the scale of the change --
lets not look just 20 years down the track - lets look 1000 years down the track with knowledge of how we have technologically progressed in the last 100 years in comparison to the previous 500 then the previous 5000 --
and, even the most conservative among us can see that barring being blown back to the stone age from some catastrophe (man made or not) - then, human life (IF it exists) would be pretty much unrecognizable in 1000 years.
So - communism or capitalism or barbarism or tribalism or any other isms - may well just not even be possible, let alone needed.

Defenders of capitalism tend to take features of capitalism and project these onto nature as if they were features of nature. Like if there were no capitalists then who would workers employ themselves to? Or if there were no landlords then who would renters pay rent to? It's comical to think about that.
