-ism usually appears as a suffix, and relates to "a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy, typically a political ideology or an artistic movement."
You can see this in words like feminism (being pro-women's rights), racism (discriminating against people because of their race), etc.
-ist refers to a person who embraces one of these practices or beliefs. Feminist, racist, etc.
In this TED talk, Joi Ito argues against being a futurist (someone who focuses on the future as a means of innovation) and for being a "now-ist".
I found this talk inspiring, and I hope you will too.
