if you are interested, there is even better word: 공산주의 - communism. Or the absolute socio-political gamebreaker, 주체사상 - the Juche idea

(Chinese transliteration)
주 - chief, main
의 - idea(s), line of thought (thinking, reasoning)
주의 can be used to mean:
. On its own: Notice

I saw in the next lesson that the word for socialism is related to the word for society.

Very roughly, 사(社) means a company, shrine or whatever, 회(會) means meeting, and together they make society. 주(主) can mean lord but usually main, 의(義) means noble teaching, and together they make -ism.
