Etymologically, the entry records: From capitalist + road (figurative) + -er (suffix denoting a person associated with or supporting a particular doctrine, theory, or political movement), as a calque of Chinese 走資派 /走资派 (zǒuzīpài, literally “one who takes the capitalist road”), a contraction… Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is capitalist roader, spelled C-A-P-I-T-A-L-I-S-T- -R-O-A-D-E-R, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
