Talk:Entryism

message: This concept of 'fast' and 'slow' entrism is mistaken. It's better to call them 'entrism of a sepcial type' [sui generis] and 'Entrism'.--DuncanBCS 09:43, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: If entrism is used as a term to describe similar tactics within campaigns, then we need to reflect that. Entrism as Trotskyist tactic is rather different from the building of broad pluralist parties. In the case of most entrism, socialists are working to win over left-ward moving forces and split them away from the party's program. In the pluralist parties, not all currents are entrists: some are loyal. --Duncan 16:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed "The Church of Scientology has also practiced entryism in taking over Alcoholics Anonymous meetings".  While it is perfectly believable, this was unreferenced and despite a long search in news sources, blogs and elsewhere, I could not even find a corresponding rumour to match this statement.

thread_title: Religious entryism

message: I am adding some facts about entryism practiced by some states against national, cultural or linguistic minority groups. Although I had initially thought of reporting the cases of France and, more recently, Spain, I am reluctant to do so given the controversial nature of the issue, not least due to their appartenance to the EU and its implications under International Law. I would thus suggest that someone more familiar with the issue in other countries with overdeveloped intelligence services and tough stands on national minorities reports about this particular phenomenon.

replies: text: If so, we should be careful to distinguish entryism from infiltration.  Can you offer some links to sources describing the relevant cases?  --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 23:27, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone requested a citation verification. Here goes:
*In the United States the wild men (and women-no sexism here) tend to be on the right these days-survivalists, gun nuts, conspiracy theorists-but these have only recently taken up "entryism" and tried to take over local elements of the major party organizations, as the Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. people have done in Illinois and California.
**Despite the Smell of Death, Tories Will Likely Hang On; WILLIAM PFAFF. Los Angeles Times (pre-1997 Fulltext). Los Angeles, Calif.: Jun 17, 1986. pg. 5
There are other sources that discuss the effort to use LaRouche's National Democratic Policy Committee to gain legitimacy through, among other things, a misleading name. But this may be the only one that specifically uses the term "entryism".   Will Beback  talk   17:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not verification, since there's no source for the journalist's statement. And if there's only one reference in 25 years, then it's not notable. --Duncan (talk) 13:13, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The Section on the BC Liberal Party being 'taken over by Social Credit Members'  has no cites, and is debatable. many would argue that the Liberals invited the Socreds in, and the party is certainly not 'controlled by former socreds' though some are in influence, Liberal Leaders Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark were, to my knowledge, never So-Creds --24.87.81.186 (talk) 15:59, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I've changed 'inflating' to 'infiltrating' in the following: 'The National Farmers' Federation and Animals Australia have each been accused of inflating branches of RSPCA Australia ...'.

message: I would like to recommend that Bernie Sanders, a self-identified Democratic Socialist who was elected repeatedly as an independent from Vermont, but is now running for president as a Democrat, be added to this section. He has stated that he wants to pull the party in a more Progressive direction.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.73.61.238 (talk) 19:46, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

message: The section "Definition" doesn't define anything. It's just two very specific examples. They don't make any clearer what entryism is, and they're so confusing, I don't even really understand what the examples are about. I'm going to remove it. --Zumbo (talk) 13:36, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
