It is a frustration in the propagation of socialist propaganda, but the endgame many Western leftists make or are willing to concede to is not the cessation of exploitation but the amelioration of exploitation; that exploitation be made livable. e.g: social democracy. Leaning on tendencies like democratic socialism or anarchism is a consequence of that cultural hegemony facing the cognitive dissonance of material decline in the West.
They know capitalism is at fault for hollowing the institutions that made a good life possible, (education, healthcare, job security, housing) and thus labor at the impression that if we only have leverage over the state could a New Deal be restored. That leverage is gained from joining socialist organizations like DSA. Unfortunately, some people who join these organizations or don these labels to sanitize their conscience will instead choose martyrdom and aesthetic self-moral worship rather than take coordinated action to radicalize and engage with others.
e: That being said, the internal antagonisms of US /western hegemony facing greater burdens will continue to not only radicalize the public of core nations but weaken the hegemonic hold on nations of the developing world that it won't likely even matter what red scare propaganda social chauvinists-masquerading-was-leftists continue to propagate. Their failure to operate meaningfully outside of electoralism and the failure of electoralism radicalizes more than moral posturing does.
Anarchism seeks more than amelioration of exploitation. I'd say it's the most demanding politics on the left, especially the strains that draw from the situationists and surrealists.
