Why is it that Marxism and a philosophical concept has absolutely zero traction in the mainstream?

Anarcho-Capitalism these days is a far, far larger movement than Marxism/Socialism is in the modern world. When was the last time you saw an actual Communist opinion piece in the mainstream news or a Communist on the news on TV giving an interview? Pretty much never.

On the internet, how often do you actually run into Communists or Socialists in comment sections or on forums? It's pretty rare, yet Anarcho Capitalists are everywhere, to the point they often just spam comment sections and forums to absolute death.

Marxism tends to be one of the main doctrines of philosophy today that is still massively popular among academics, yet why does that not at all translate into the mainstream, where philosophy that is essentially batshit insane and ignorant like Anarcho Capitalism/Libertarianism, is often represented in the mainstream and far-right organizations like Libertarian think tanks, often dominate editorial and opinion pieces in newspapers while getting huge amounts of airtime on TV?
