'anticapitalism' just means against Capitalism - this includes Communists, Socialists, and any reasonable people.

what happened in Russia was called Communism, but it wasn't proper Communism, it was Evil Stalinism, which is completely different. what happened in Russia was just Capitalism by another name.

to distinguish myself from the evils that were done in the name of Communism, i call myself a Socialist, or a Marxist. but we're all still opposed to Capitalism, which is NEVER a good thing.

i'm going to clarify the difference between Stalinism and Marxism. Communism is basically about sharing and cooperation [whereas Capitalism is about selfishness]. now, a common definition of Communism is 'The Belief that the People exist to serve the State'. this is partially true, but it depends on your definition of 'the state'. in Marxism [good communism] the state is defined as the people in it, whereas in Stalinism, the state is defined as its leader. therefore:

Capitalism: The Belief that the People exist to serve Themselves.
Communism: The Belief that the People exist to serve the State.
Marxism: The Belief that the People Exist to serve Each Other.
Socialism: The Belief that the State exists to serve the People.
Stalinism: The Belief that both the State and the People exist to serve the Leader.

clear? no, i didn't think so...
