I think that the whole range of definitions needs overhauling. Nothing is as it was and people tend to tack subjective references onto terms that would not stand up to a dictionary definition (an illegitimate abstraction, in philosophy, of a term's or word's meaning).
I am guilty of the same kind of subjective rendering. It is not often that an individual will completely represent his or her philosophy because that in itself would violate the meaning of individual. But hopefully groups of individuals having basically similar motivations and thoughts will form larger groups and this will in turn lead to new and perhaps more representative definitions for changing ideologies.
At the moment things are in flux, to say the least.
