People who actively oppose capitalism and believe that private ownership and profit-driven economies are harmful or unjust.
From anti- (against) + capitalist (a person who supports capitalism). The word emerged in the 19th century alongside the rise of socialist and communist movements as an organized opposition to capitalist economies.
Anticapitalists have shaped major world events—from labor movements to revolutions—and the word itself became so politically charged that its meaning varies wildly depending on who's using it.
