Group discription according to de facto name change

In the Marxist-Leninist movement, an anti-revisionist is one who favors the line of theory and practice associated with Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin, usually stated in this way so as to show direct opposition to the path of Trotskyism, Ultra-Leftism and Revisionist trends of Socialism. Anti-revisionists claim that the Soviet Union under Stalin's leadership represented a correct and successful practical implementation of the ideas of the scientific socialist ideas of Marx, Engels and Lenin in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). That does not mean; however, that Marxist-Leninists are completely uncritical of Stalin.

Marxism-Leninism is seen by its followers as a healthy, solid, scientific ideological road, devoid of both the alleged corruption and elitism of Trotskyism, and the perceived idealism of Left Communism.

Anti-revisionism is based on the view that the Soviet Union successfully implemented Marxism-Leninism during approximately the first thirty years of its existence — from the time of the October Revolution until the Secret Speech and peaceful coexistence of 1956. Anti-revisionists point out that Stalin's policies not only achieved impressive rates of economic growth and argue that such growth could have been sustained and a prosperous communism could have been achieved if the Soviet Union had remained on this same course (see also the article Theory of Productive Forces); they also typically further allege that the worldwide ideological impact and leadership of the Soviet Union in the 1930s and 1940s world labor movement represent a superior ideological and social model of real "workers' power" that was first ruined by the Secret Speech and some anti-revisionist claim it was later to reemerge within Enver Hoxha's Albania and/or China's Cultural Revolution, only to be ruined again by the capture and deposition of the Gang of Four by China's "state capitalists" (or according to others, the denunciation of the Cultural Revolution at the third session of the Eleventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China,by Deng Xiao Ping).

According to anti-revisionists, these later attempts to 'fix' or revise the socialist system represented a shift onto the road to capitalism and ultimately led to the downfall of the Soviet Union and the betrayal of communist principles in all self-proclaimed communist countries. Thus, revisionism is seen as the cause of the fall of the Soviet Union and the East European socialist republics.

The original unedited version of the group bio came original from wikipedia topic of Anti-Revisionism. With the name change I think its vital we go into more detail and explain what Marxism-Leninism is. I have made some changes but I think a rewrite is necessary, explaining of course the international role of Marxist-Leninist parties. I could write a lot but we should limit it to a few paragraphs highlighting the key points.

When I have some free time I will make some edits, other comrades are welcome to contribute.

Anyone have suggestions? Before I go ahead? Must have inclusions?
