[kictanet] Entryism according to some dictionaries

[aki]

*The net has some interesting views on this, something that came to mind
while reading world politics a while back.. *

*Entryism* is a political tactic in which an organisation or group enters a
larger organisation in an attempt to gain recruits, gain influence or to
take control of the larger organisations' structure. This technique is
commonly used by groups from the far left or right of the political spectrum
to enter more centrist institutions. This is experienced more frequently in
arenas where opportunities for political activity at the fringes is limited,
such as two party/majoritarian systems rather than in
multiparty/proportional systems where the cost of entry into the political
system is lower. Organisations which are the subject of entryism often react
by attempting either to marginalise or expel the pratagonists.
