Morphology
noncapitalist = capitalist (transparent) = non + capital + ist
Formed by non- (negation) + the noun 'capitalist'; the nominal meaning (a non-capitalist person/group) is directly derived.
Etymology
Noncapitalist as a noun uses the same parts: non- 'not', capital 'money', and -ist 'person or system'. So a noncapitalist is a person, group, or system that 'does not support' capitalism and may prefer public or common ownership.
