Interesting. I understand why I've never heard of idealism as a political ideology. Doesn't seem very, viable.
I was just bastardizing the dismissive use of idealist used in US discourse.
Idealism isn't an ideology per say it's the underpinning thought behind ideologies such as liberalism. The opposite of idealism is materialism which is then what underpins scientific socialism.
