Note
A regular plural, but only of the noun. Capitalist also works as an adjective (capitalist economies), and adjectives take no -s, so capitalists always names people. Which people depends on context: owners of considerable wealth, investors seeking a profit, or simply supporters of capitalism. Under that last meaning, someone can count among the capitalists without owning any capital at all.
