Jumping off of this anon's post, and referencing OP's pic, the best foot soldiers for such movements are society's rejects. They have insider knowledge of how a culture and society work, but none of the loyalty to the society, combined with a hatred of their fellow citizens and a desire to be seen as important by those they despise. Gramscists recruit from pools of losers and freaks because those people are desperate for some form of belonging, and they whisper sweetly, poisonous words of treason against their countrymen. "Sell out your people and help us slowly take over, and we will force them to look up at you from below."
It never occurs to these freaks that they become useless if and when the Marxist takeover is successful; as the pre-revolution outer party, they know too much about how the takeover happened and can reverse engineer it, thus they will be 'purged' and a new post-revolution outer party established.
