A party becomes undestroyable once its mass element necessarily generates leadership

Evidence

The moment when it becomes impossible to destroy a party by normal means is reached when the two other elements cannot help being formed—that is, the first element, which in its turn necessarily forms the third as its continuation and its means of expressing itself. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 680

Categorization

• DEFINE: This is a structural criterion of party invulnerability — a leadership nucleus plus organic mass element make destruction by ordinary means impossible.
• XREF: Distinct from Elias Canetti’s mass-and-leader analysis but adjacent; also connects to what the Islamophobia field calls populist and movement party structures. — connects to: A dead political project can still dominate by default and inertia — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk: The Collected and Unpublished…, 2072
