Which original meaning?

I mostly try to avoid the two capital Cs: Capitalism and Communism. These two terms mean so many different things to so many different people, I'd argue no other words have quite so much baggage or derail conversations quite so effectively.

Taking a side in that conflict means you'll be expected to answer for whatever evil people have gotten up to while paying lip service to your preferred ideology. I'd rather discuss how to improve our world using terms not arguably stained with the blood of millions.
