Infiltrating Institutions: The Strategy of Entryism

Entryism is the tactic of infiltrating institutions to advance a specific ideological agenda. This strategy involves placing individuals sympathetic to the cause within institutions such as universities, police departments, militaries, and companies. The long march through the institutions, popularized by critical race theorists, exemplifies entryism. Palpable examples include the emergence of critical race theory, where black feminists infiltrated the critical legal studies movement, and the infiltration of the gamergate controversy and the new atheism movement by social justice activists. Entryism can also be seen in policies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, which often serve as a pretext to introduce individuals with critical consciousness or woke Marxist ideologies into various institutions.
