A game revolutionary with support for Communist works (8)
I believe the answer is:
agitprop
'communist works' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'a game revolutionary with support for' is the wordplay.
'game' becomes 'tig' (playground game).
'revolutionary' says the letters should be written backwards (letters revolve around).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'support for' becomes 'prop' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tig' back-to-front is 'git'.
'a'+'git'+'prop'='AGITPROP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for agitprop that I've seen before include "Would rat go pip for the odd propagandist?" , "subversive literature" , "aggressive political publicity" , "Culturally delivered political propaganda -- a top grip (anag)" , "political hype" .)
