LFI’s light structure aided mobilization but prevented long-run entrenchment

Evidence

On the other hand, LFI’s adoption of a light and agile structure proved crucial to mobilization in a context where individuals were atomized and disaffiliated.

LFI’s hegemony on the left is a relatively frail one. — Arthur Borriello and Anton Jäger, The Populist Moment, 314
