The same can be said about Marxism, anarchism, and so on. People whose politics are called Marxist include some leftists who are on this list but also Khmer Rouge, the Communist Party of Peru (Shining Path), and so on in the South and the Red Brigades (Italy), the Red Army Faction (Germany), the Japanese Red Army, etc. in the North. The Third Indochina War was fought in 1979 between two countries under the communist parties: China and Viet Nam.
The conclusion that one comes to based on these facts is that the religion of Oscar Romero and and that of the Salvadoran Right are not the same, though they loosely belong to the same long-standing, extremely diverse and contradictory ideological tradition, just as Hugo Chavez's Marxism and Pol Pot's Marxism are not the same, though they loosely belong to the same longstanding, extremely diverse and contradictory ideological tradition.
