I was reading Carrillo’s “Eurocommunism and the State” for an article and he did that thing a lot of revisionist do where they go “well everything is revisionism!!! Lenin was a revisionist!!! Marx was a revisionist of himself!!!” Etc. Etc.
But really they are, honestly probably purposefully, obfuscating what revisionism is. For example, he uses the change from war communism to the NEP to post-nep policies as an example of lenin being a revisionist of himself, which…no? That’s not what revisionism is. That’s just applying different policies to material conditions. I mean it gets a little more complicated obviously but I honestly do very much hate it.
Everything that doesn’t fit within the viewpoints of our niche western commie party is revisionist. It doesn’t matter if we never had to actually run a state, we know what communism is.
