Yea it’s extremely unintuitive, people also use Capitalist for those who support Capitalism in liberal circles so that even further ruins communication. It all ends up relying on contextual clues, which shouldn’t be the basis of communication IMO.
Its really difficult when a communism means two things and both meanings are regularly used in the same context (e.g. a comment), and why the fact that there is at least a distinction between liberalism and capitalism is nice (even if some dont know what liberalism means)
Yep, it stems more from Communism emerging as a prediction for a future society, whereas Liberalism was a post-hoc justification for a society that was already rising.
If you “support” communism you are a Communist.
But if you “support” capitalism you aren’t a Capitalist.
Whoever came up with this shit needs to reevaluate some things.
