Most leftists misinterpret Marx in the sense that they attribute some sort of morals to categories to his system of political economy, when Marx's whole point wasn't "you know commodity production? It's bad." by itself, but rather, he tried to lay down
why it leads to some inherent contradictions within the capitalist mode of production and what effects it has on what we would now call the human psyche. So when people screech "did you know China has
capitalists??" The sound answer should really be "so what" because Marxism is not a religion but a science. Unless you can explain, why entertaining a private sector that is subservient to the public sector and the state is inherently bad without resorting to morals, "anti-revisionism" as a tendency is nothing more than a LARP considering it was born out of squabbles between the CPC and the CPSU to justify each of their own zigzag courses in foreign policy, nothing more.
The word "revisionism" has lost all meaning today. What is the CPC "revising" anyway? A certain policy, like inviting foreign capital investment, is not more "revisionist" than having a reactionary stance towards gay people, for example. Nobody would doubt the "anti-revisionism" of, say, Hoxha because he didn't allow the Christopher Street Day in Tirana. Marxism isn't prescriptive within the categories of
policy, it's just a method of analysis.
Many leftoids also take their entire knowledge of dialectical materialism from this one meme infograph. I don't believe that people who claim just because you allow for market activity the entire state apparatus immediately turns bourgeois have ever seriously read Marx, Dietzgen or even Stalin for that matter, but got their knowledge from memes and online pamphlets of political groups mainly operating on Discord. I think what's happening in China is beautiful, and instead or being bitter and cynical all the time and LARPing I focus on my own country and sit on the sidelines happily as I observe the successes of Chinese socialism.
