Socialist men upset with partisanship (12)
I believe the answer is:
sectionalism
'partisanship' is the definition.
(sectionalism is a kind of partisanship)
'socialist men upset' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'socialist'+'men'='socialistmen'
'socialistmen' with letters rearranged gives 'SECTIONALISM'.
'with' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
