Almost nobody knows the academic definitions of most political ideologies, they're just all cable news buzzwords now. If you took a sample of the population I'd be surprised if even 5% could give you the correct academic definitions for the vast majority of political ideology terms.

Almost like they use buzzwords to obfuscate the real meaning of the ideas that threaten their hold on power.
