"anti-revisionist" marxists are the most revisionist mf'ers out there. Can't revision any harder than by throwing materialism out of the window.
Well... If by "anti-revisionist" one means "anti-Gorbachev" - I'm all in.
I find that labeling one-self as an anti-revisionist is kind of a misnomer. Practically all well-read communists are anti-Gorbachev and anti-revisionist. But anti-revisionism shouldn't be treating communism akin to a religious dogma, it should be recognizing that it is a constantly-evolving science, not a holy book, which is the mistake that most who call themselves "anti-revisionist" seem to make.
I think this is why I find Leftist people hard to follow. So many grey areas, so much to learn not to fall a category that would do more harm than good.
