communisms
Anti-capitalist political systems
Communisms is the plural of communism, referring to different varieties or implementations of the political and economic ideology.
The plural acknowledges that communism has taken distinct forms across time and place: Soviet and Chinese communisms developed along different paths.
Scholars use the plural to avoid treating communism as monolithic: the various communisms of the twentieth century.
