by a ML who said anyone who agreed with Marx and not Lenin was a revisionist. I didn't even say I was a Marxist. I am so very confused.

Ban this revisionist!

Seriously, I don't know the context of your discussion but the term "revisionist" is thrown around by MLs to refer to any Marxists they disagree with basically. The term was applicable to the "revisionism" of Edward Bernstein who revised Marxism into a type of gradualistic social democracy. Other than that its used to refer to supporters of one bureaucratic clique in opposition to another. Maoists and Hoxhaists think Breznevites are revisionists. Hoxhaists say Maoists are revisionists.Various Maoist groups accuse each other of revisionism. Most MLs today consider themselves "anti-revisionists". The revisionists are those deluded traitors who disagree.

Used the same way some people use "reactionary," "fascist," "petty-bourgeois," "lifestylist" etc etc etc.

Typical Revisionist playing all confused and the like. We should institute stonings so that all true Marxists can show their orthodoxy and rigid attention to detail as well as their aim.:tt2:

It's just a stupid word Hoxhaists use to describe anyone who isn't a Hoxhaist. They think it makes them feel superior and important.

When you're not even a Marxist, that's clear proof that you have revised Marxism beyond all recognition and are therefore a revisionist...

Hang on a second, if Lenin came after Marx, then how can marxists be revisionists? They were revising ideas that didn't even exist yet, and the modern day ones are revising into the past?

He's also claiming that because I'm not a Marxist I'm not a communist. He really does confuse me. Yes Kinsey it was Tankedy Tank

The guy is clearly an idiot. I'm not a Marxist, but I bet I know a lot more about Marxism than he does.
