I started looking up some of the 'ism' words seeing if I can find definitions I can agree with that make sense. I'm thinking I should post some of my findings, my comments on them, and hopefully others will chime in with their two cents.
And Capitalism.
>>>
Capitalism : An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development occurs through the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.

Zim : So, I'm on duckduckgo looking up definitions . . . And I scroll down and see 'Recent News'.
Yahoo says "Capitalism makes it hard to feel good about buying almost anything"
And my thoughts became 'Capitalists are trying hard to make you feel good about buying their products so you will buy more of their products.' And, Capitalism is what fills the stores with all the different products one can buy. And I'm supposed to feel bad about that?
'Common Dreams' claims "Capitalism's Practicality while we bake to death" . . . It has a picture of burning buildings - reminding me of a BLM 'peaceful protest'. I'm assuming they are trying to blame us capitalist pigs for the man-made global warming?
First off the 'man-made-global-warming bogey man is a lie foisted upon us by con-artists, thieves, and liars. But, OK. You want to reduce carbon emissions? YOU need to develop economical technologies to replace fossil fuel use. If they are economically feasible the capitalists will replicate them and put them to good use. Why haven't the liars and charlatans pushed opening Yucca Mountain and embracing non-carbon emitting nuclear energy?
Personally I like capitalism. I like that these United States have passed laws to curb the most larcenous and heinous of the 'crimes of capitalism'. Things like the EPA - too keep the unscrupulous from poisoning the air and water. OSHA to protect workers. Fair labor laws, Usury laws, etc.etc.
But I'm not very happy about the liberal fascists trying to push those laws into the realms of insane stupidity.
