Because like WoW did to the MMO market, everyone with an opinion and overinflated ego thinks X-ism will be the thing that brings down the flawed system that is capitalism.

Then it doesn't. It continues to exist: bloated, busted, but still functioning.

Then to top it off, the greatest capitalist markets are in democratic nations, where even the dumbest have a voice. The dumbest also tend to be the loudest, creating nebulous enemies that anthropomorphise the evils of capitalism (i.e "Stickin it to the man", "Fighting the Patriarchy", etc.)

The rallying cry to remove or replace capitalism has become a joke, capitalism itself becoming part of that joke. It has become that crochety old relative that says all kinds of questionable things when drunk and act like a total douche when sober: fun to have around sometimes, a pain the rest of the time, but for the most part you can't do anything about it but wait for them to die.
