I'm joining in this thread with a quote...

"Like everyone else he had a label, since at that time no-one could live without one, but his 'ism' was of a non-committed kind: he was not a royalist, a Bonapartist, a chartist, an Orleanist, or an anarchist - simply a book-ist"
Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
(I'm sure it's better in the original French, but I've only read it in translation, not being exactly fluent in French)
