There are a lot of factors that go into the lack of traction for Marxist ideals.
Propaganda is one thing, fear that trying to upset the status quo could backfire, just pessimism about the feasibility of another system, and it doesn’t help that Marxists are often bad at explaining our positions by using too much jargon.
I think it’s good to keep in mind that a lot of communists were purged. I mean look at Jakarta in the 60s, Nazi Germany, all the military dictatorships of LatAm.
