Most people do not distinguish words by capitalization. I agree with what you're saying but most people don't care about the difference and so I don't really either. The only word we(anarchists) should be fighting for is anarchy, and it's forms. We don't need any others. Democracy, socialism, communism, even if we manage to get people to understand our definitions, in an anarchic society they won't matter so we should let go of them. Anarchy encompasses communism, as class and wealth are both archic structures. There is no need for more terms, and the effort to clean them is too costly.
Also even though restructuring the text got rid of it at one point I had the word communism as the first word in a sentence leading me to capitalize it. Another reason why distinguishing between words by capitalization is a bad practice.
