Syncretism is a merger while entryism is a takeover

Evidence

“With a more detailed and historical analysis, it becomes evident that the neoliberalism is not singular, but plural. From basis-common elements he knows indeed very various developments. That plurality of neoliberalism is not a weakness, but constitutes a strength in the context of a Hegemony Theory standpoint” (Plehwe and Walpen 1999, 206). — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 1014 (#complicates, via linked claim)
