    Extreme simplification:

    Liberalism: supports capitalism. Current system + tweaks

    Leftism: supports anticapitalism of some form, the two biggest umbrellas being Marxism/Communism and Anarchism

    Marxism/Communism: supports collectivization, public ownership, and central planning (I have an introductory reading list if you want to learn more, or just read Principles of Communism)

    Anarchism: supports full horizontalism and networks of communes

        They’re conveniently leaving out the entire concept of Socialism for some reason, while making sure to mention Marxism by name.

        So I would make sure to add that to the list. Communism is a specific form of socialism, but the two are non synonymous.
