Revisionism is not 'anything I disagree with' or even 'anything that disagrees with something Marx said'. Revisionism is using and mangling Marxism to hide political goals. Revising theory due to new evidence is the very essence of Marxism-Leninism.
If you think that everything that Marx, Lenin, Stalin, or Mao said should be taken as holy writ, then you are the one mangling Marxism. We are scientific socialists, so we should be dealing in evidence, not deifying theorists.
Marx is incredibly important, as is Lenin, Stalin, and Mao, but every human is limited not just by their capacity for thought, but by the conditions they live in. No Marxist can predict or understand the specifics of the future. Science is not magic.
We can use their writings to help us analyze today, and much of it will be applicable. But it's very important to understand when something does and doesn't apply to our current situation.
Instead of dismissing anything new as 'revisionism', judge it on its merits. Does it make sense with all the evidence we have today, or is it an attempt to cloak a liberal ideology in the cloth of Marxism?
