Morphology
capitalist + roadism
Even though 'capitalist' is a familiar adjective, 'roadism' is not a common English word and here functions as specialized political jargon (a metaphorical ‘following a road/path’ meaning). A B1 learner who knows 'capitalist' and 'road' would not reliably infer the ideological sense 'adopting a capitalist path/policy' from these constituents alone, so the expression is not transparently compositional.
Etymology
Capitalist roadism gives a simple picture: imagine someone taking a road marked capitalist, meaning they choose markets and profit instead of shared social goals. So the term is used to say a policy or person 'favors capitalist principles' or 'moves a country toward capitalism' rather than protecting social equality.
