Alternate political terminology

What are possible alternate terms that could have come up for the following political ideologies:

  • Capitalism
  • Socialism
  • Communism
  • Nationalism
  • Monarchism
  • Authoritarianism
  • Totalitarianism
 
In pre-19th century writing, the words "race", "nation", and "people" (as a singular noun), were often used interchangeably. I think then that the term "Nationalism" could be replaces with "Racism" or "Racialism". I do wonder though, how it will change the way in which what we today understand as Nation or Race are perceived. Do nations become more "racial", i.e. would a Frenchman, an Englishman and a German feel part of the same nation? It could also mean that the concept of nation becomes more racial in the way that "scientific racism" now divides races according to national lines, with French, German, Japanese etc. all become distinct races that are (pseudo-)scientifically studied and categorized according to their "racial characteristics".

This is very interesting actually, this could be good for the story I'm writing, so thank you!

What about the others though? I really want some alternative terminology for socialism and capitalism in particular

Some ideas off the top of my head. I can't vouch for the accuracy of languages here, just going from some online sources, maybe someone else can advise.

Capitalism

aesjuris (Latin aes juris meaning money system). If it's an old word a possible anglicisation could be Asturism

Socialism
Communism

Gemeinschaft (German) encompasses some of the ideals of equality and community.

Nationalism

Volkkampf (literally people fight, maybe coming from a sense of nationalism in German unification).

Monarchism

Regialism

Authoritarianism
Totalitarianism

Regnosaevus (cruel rule)
