entryism

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'strategy to destroy political party from inside' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'insert my surprising' is the wordplay.
'surprising' indicates an anagram.
'insert'+'my'='insertmy'
'insertmy' with letters rearranged gives 'ENTRYISM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for entryism that I've seen is " Infiltration of a political party for subversion".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
