I am sure they could decide to call themselves whatever they wanted. In some places calling a Social Democrat a "Marxist" would be fightin' words.

What names political movements embrace depend on the time (what century, what decade) and the place (what country) and the current political environment.

Lots of names chosen in the past are not instructive as to political decisions today.
