This was originally my snarky commentary about the premise of a different thread, but I might as well post it here too. Sorry for not contributing anything useful.
"When I use an ideology," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make ideologies mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master — that’s all."
Alice was too much puzzled to say anything, so after a minute Humpty Dumpty began again. "They’ve a temper, some of them — particularly liberalism and conservatism, they’re the proudest — centrism you can do anything with, but not socialism — however, I can manage the whole of them! Fiscal conservatism! Social liberalism! That’s what I say!"
