    China is still around and thriving largely because of Deng. Changing tactics isn't revisionism, attempting to rewrite history is.

      definitely worth dealing with and not entirely revisionist and crumbling.

      proceeds to explain how 'changing tactics' ie comprehensive capitalist reform isn't revisionism.

      All you're doing is using marketing language.

        Blaming the Sino-Soviet split on Deng is revisionist. If we're looking at results, China still exists and the communist project there is doing great. Have you checked in on the USSR recently?

          What's revisionist is criticising USSR for deStalinization and then proceeding to do the same thing to Mao's policies.

          China still exists and the communist project there is doing great.

          A project so dead that Xi is being praised for attempting to revive it. It's going great.
