Extreme simplification:

Liberalism: supports capitalism. Current system + tweaks

Leftism: supports anticapitalism of some form, the two biggest umbrellas being Marxism/Communism and Anarchism

Marxism/Communism: supports collectivization, public ownership, and central planning (I have an introductory reading list if you want to learn more, or just read Principles of Communism)

Anarchism: supports full horizontalism and networks of communes

Thank you for the reading list! I'll take a gander :)

They're conveniently leaving out the entire concept of Socialism for some reason, while making sure to mention Marxism by name.

Sorry to say I'm a self aware liberal capitalist. I must say I love to consoom (with some moderation)

You can still get goods and services in Socialism and Communism, I don't know what you mean by "consooming."
