Use the word 'El'
In Spanish, when talking about 'isms' (concepts like communism or capitalism), you need to use the article 'el' before the word, even if we don't say 'the' in English. For example: 'El comunismo es...' (Communism is...).
Ending in -ismo
Words that end in '-ismo' are almost always masculine naming words (nouns). This means you should always use 'el' or 'un' with them.
Missing the 'El'
Mistake: “Comunismo es un sistema político.”
Correction: El comunismo es un sistema político. (You must include 'El' when talking about the concept in general.)
