Hello,

Why is every "anti-revisionist" marxist an ultra? "Anti-revisionism" is so amogus because they claim to be the opposite of who they are

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.
