One reason may be that capitalism periodically reforms itself in reaction to its periodic crises, as explained by Social Structure of Accumulation (SSA) theory (see Social Structures of Accumulation: The Political Economy of Growth and Crisis (1994), edited by David Kotz, Terrence McDonough and Michael Reich).
I'm currently reading American Democratic Socialism: History, Politics, Religion, and Theory by Gary Dorrien, tiding me over until the publication of UMass political economist David M. Kotz's forthcoming Socialism for Today: Escaping the Cruelties of Capitalism (previously scheduled for this August but now apparently not until April of next year).
I also confess to a lack of mooring in philosophy, but FWIW my favorite leftist philosophy book is Knowledge and Politics (1975) by Roberto Mangabeira Unger
On the other hand, when you found a movement that takes over half the world, let me know.
Its day is done.
Marxism is now
Globally endemic
At an uncettain date and location.
Another pandemic outbreak is
Part of our legacy
Mutations are inevitable of course
"That is so not happening!"

Kotz btw has also written extensively about the USSR, Russia's path from Gorbachev to Putin, and the weird case of the Peoples Republic of China
I've known Kotz for decades. Maybe I'll offer to review his new book.
👍
Weird case of PRC ?
Clio dont make her
Moves
verstand easy

Kutz is like a Quaker
To some of us Calvinists
But one hails his intentions
And accomplishments
Kutz nice F slop eh
Let me tell ya
Its
Kotz of fun
to be a red clown
Marxist expioitation lies at
The material foundation of
Self reproducing hierarchies
Rank system rankings
are non heritable
Big man privileges and obligations like wise
Human social orderings
Gets nicely complicated
Marx observed looking up from the material base the projected insyituyions and culture make sense
But looking down from the culture
To determine the MB
Is problematic
