This is empty speculation, but then so is opining about tzadiq vera lo...

RZ violates Austritt. Zionism's success doesn't change that.

Although it is interesting to note how many otherwise-Hirschians were
the founding leadership of Poalei Agudah.

For the same reason that RYBS's stand on the Synagogue Council of America
was not Austritt, MO is more comfortable with RZ than RSRH's shitah allows
for.
