I don’t see your point. Chareidim basically means Jews who are not Zionist. It is also possible to use the term to refer to Jews who are Zionist but choose to label themselves according to the fact that they are Chareidim as opposed to labeling themselves by their zionism.
Okay. Just be aware this includes anyone who self-identifies as a Chareidi, and excludes anyone who doesn’t, whether they are Shomrei Torah U’Mitzvos, follow Gedolim, etc. It is actually very similar to the Liberal definition of “Woman” being anyone who self-identifies as such, no matter whether they are physically a woman or not.
It also means that there were no Chareidim before people started to self-identify using that term.
