Entryism was the subject of a legendary Tweet by David Burge, which stated:
1. Identify a respected institution 2. Kill it 3. Gut it 4. Wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect
I tend to think that entryism only works on institutions that are already well into the decline stage, which is why so many august and official bodies have been effectively taken over by woke idealogues. That's to say that the left's entryism has in formal terms been very successful. However, the problem is that once the institution has been captured, people outside inherently sense that something is wrong, and the institution begins to be drained of credibility.
