Note: this list isn't originally my own creation, rather I adapted it from a post on a libertarian blog and modified some of the wording to fit a more general organization description.
1) Leftist ideas are introduced into a growing organization or movement through a few vocal members. Leftists are able to penetrate and gain influence in the organization according to O’Sullivan’s Law, which states that any organization or enterprise that is not expressly right wing will become left wing over time.
2) Through heavy use of emotional manipulation and guilt-tripping, more and more members, and eventually entire affiliate groups, and larger networks of interrelated groups become leftist. The founding organizational, aspirational, and ethical principles are no longer applied. Free speech, open discourse, or differences of opinion will not be tolerated. Non-leftists will be labeled and ostracized.
3) Conservative and moderate leadership acts only after leftists begin taking over leadership positions, and the Marxist claim ownership of the organization and call the conservative, moderate, and otherwise insufficiently-leftist members “entryists” or even claiming they are alien or hostile to the original purpose of the group, when in fact this is a clear case of projection.
4) Initial resistance gives way to retreat, as conservative and moderate members decide to cut their losses and leave the organization for a new and smaller splinter group free of the leftist elements they just fled. The general public begins to associate the original (now-subverted) organization with leftism in general.
5) The new splinter group expands and eventually starts to grow and prosper.
6) Meanwhile, the successfully-subverted original organization hemorrhages membership, as there are not enough leftists interested in the founding purpose of the original organization, nor are there enough leftists interested in the founding purpose of the original organization to keep it alive after the conservative and moderate exodus.
7) As the conservatives and moderates re-organize and grow in strength, the newly burgeoning organization becomes the new target for leftist subversion.
8) The cycle repeats.
