capitalist nations ... will face exactly the same problems

All nations are facing the same problems now, there has been a globalization of problems in this 'shrinking world'. It is merely a matter of degrees. Everything is intertwined to the extent that no serious problem is confined to any particular place. One wouldn't even know about a pandemic in a neighbouring country in times of yore; now one knows of it when it first emerges, even if it emerges half way around the world. A villager would not know that a nearby city was polluted; now we believe that pollution half way around the world is a threat to us through 'climate change'. You can find junk food even in Islam's holy cities of Mecca and Medina: historical sites sit right alongside KFC branches. No place is sacred, no place is uncontaminated by the exceedingly pathological characteristics of late-modernity.

I'd say that Mishima is economizing something that is sociopolitical: it is the liberal disease of Spinoza, Locke, &c. that opens the door for degeneration, not capitalism per se. We are witnessing a radicalizing of this disease, and Marx and his acolytes are part of the same disease, even though they are more unsympathetic than not to capitalism. The socialists and communists, being sociopolitical liberals, are part of the very same problem that they attribute to the capitalists, their sociopolitical co-ideologists.

Of course, liberalism and capitalism fit together quite nicely to the extent that Marxists think of liberal democracy as capitalism's political form and liberal theorists, such as Fukuyama, think of capitalism as liberalism's economic form. Both of them are clear that capitalism and liberalism fit together like hand in glove. It is easy to see why they fit together: for instance, which society sells more contraceptives, drugs, entertainment, and even food? The society of abstinence, of prohibition, or the society of excess, of permissiveness, that is, the liberal society?

all have the same mentality

They are exceedingly possessing of a homogenized, universalized liberal psyche. This has numerous characteristics. Amongst others, it is highly acquisitive, highly apathetic, highly commodified, highly disenchanted, highly excessive, highly hedonistic, and highly therapeuticized. It is hyper-consumptive, hyper-individualized, extremely mediatized, and extremely technologized. It lives and works to amass resources for consumption and play without end. Since it has no end, it is also deeply irrational, working with no real plan and with no real purpose in a world with no real meaning. It consumes without end: it willingly embraces the fact that mass media, social media, and entertainment of all forms bombard it constantly. Overloaded, overstimulated, it is exceedingly pathological. It over-consumes information, most of it of the most useless kind, in particular, but it also greatly over-consumes salt, sugar and all kinds of other consumables. It enjoys this, even though it does not enjoy, and is desperate to avoid, the unintended consequences, crying out for fast cures for Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and every other wretched condition that it brings about on itself. Failing to avoid them, it is beginning to embrace them. Body positivity. Fat is beautiful. Plus-sized models. Every part of it is increasingly occupied by things that are ever further removed from reality. Bizarre beliefs, cretinous concepts, incorrect ideas, terrible theories.

Little is sacred to it except that which it considers marginalized, powerless, victimized. Out with lèse-majesté laws, it demands, and in with laws that prevent the defacing of pride crosswalks. The difference is that a king is the antithesis of what they idolize: he is powerful, their idols weak. The lack of qualities is now the greatest quality: the person who proudly lists all of his mental illnesses on his social media bios, even on his electoral campaign materials, does not do so because it brings about disbenefits, but the contrary. Vote for me because I possess more disabilities, I am a greater victim, than my opponents! Liberalism's political system, it turns out, is victimocracy. May the greatest victim reign supreme!

the [Last Men]

Little did Mishima know that the Japanese just after his time would not merely be Nietzsche's Last Men, but also the last Japanese people in the most literal sense.
