A '''dupe''' is a person who supports the philosophy, aims or methods of a political party or movement, but does so unknowingly. The term is most often used of people who unknowingly support [[communist]] parties in democratic nations, though it has also been applied to supporters of ultra-right-wing parties or independence movements.
A dupe is different from a [[fellow traveller]], in that though both are not officially members of a party or movement, the fellow traveller recognizes his/her actions are in support of it, while the dupe does not.
