Failed ideology leads to wretchedness and some militarism (4)
I believe the answer is:
wasm
'failed ideology' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'leads to wretchedness and some militarism' is the wordplay.
'leads to' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'wretchedness and some militarism' is 'WASM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
