    What people call themselves and what they actually stand for are not necessary the same.

    Labor party in Britain is a good example.

    Often party names start from historic ideologies that change over time.

    Other times, a misleading word is used to intentionally obfuscate what their party /group / organization is doing.

    It’s common in the U.S to give bills and laws that fuck the people over the most names like “citizens United”. Or “the save act”.

    When these both are destructive to the people.
