[edit] Proposed merger

I don't think that there is need to merge this article with Maoism. Even juche communists claim themselves as anti-revisionists because Kim Il Sung opposed Khrushchevite-Brezhnevite social-imperialism. --219.64.186.3, 18:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I totally agree! No merging, please! --84.58.42.171 20:48, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

A lot of self-proclaimed anti-revisionists are very specifically stalinist without being maoist; some don't even have an interest in mao zedong thought. Some dabble with the albanian legacy, etc. due to these issues, no to merger. this article needs cleaned up a bit too. it might make sense to have a "historical" sub-section about revisionism pre-kruschev: bernstein, katusky, yugoslavia, whatever. the term has changed meanings a bit, but not altogether either. --71.162.24.213, 17:32 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I disagree with the merging. The current of anti-revisionism was nit only consisted of Maoists. The things that characterizes anti-revisionism is the opposition to the Khrushchevite-Brezhnevite politics from a marxist-leninist point of view. -- Magioladitis 09:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I also disagree. Cursory knowledge of the term as used in the radical left, as self-description or as descriptor of others, proves this merge is misguided. A number of followers of Mao decry "maoist" as term to describe themselves, yet they are firm in describing themselves as "anti-revisionists". Since no one has supported the merger to date, I am removing the template.--Cerejota 05:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kim Jong Il?

You could make a case that Sung was Anti-Revisionist, but what about his son? I don't really see how he is Anti-Revisionist nor have ever seen him show any traits/condemn revisionism. --Mrdie 12:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Kim Jong Il has several works, most notably "Respecting the Forerunners of the Revolution is a Noble Moral Obligation of Revolutionaries" in which he defends Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin. He also has been very Anti-Revisionist and expressed this in articles such as "Giving Priority to Ideological Work is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism", "On Some Problems of the Ideological Foundation of Socialism", "On Further Improving Party Ideological Work" amongst others. So, I do think he deserves mention. END. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.183.87.80 (talk) 23:57, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
