A word ending with -ist is just a person that aligns with the word ending with -ism. You can definitely be a salaried worker and be a capitalist. There’s evidence for this everywhere, especially through various social media, as just one example.
Morphemes have purpose in words. They’re not for vibe-communicating.
Yes. In the context of the original post and my comment (the isms, or ideologies), exactly this.
The first definition is not relevant to capitalism, it is the same usage as their “artist to artism” point, but it is literal and not a confused fallacy trying to introduce an ism that does not exist. An artist is to art, as a capitalist is to capital. However, we’re talking about isms here, nothing they’ve tried to raise.
That should have been obvious from the original post; if not, by my comment; if not, especially as they typed out their artism argument; if not, certainly by the time they consulted the dictionary. Four whooshes.

You mean like artists are aligned with artism?
Words have different meanings, depending on the context they are used in.

I think OPs argument is silly, but doesn’t defintion number 2 from your screenshots favor OP?
It does. I‘m trying to say that sticking to just one definition is a bit silly.
