It's somewhat funnier because current ML movement is far less sectarian in the way the previous ones were, they are all great enjoyers of regimes.
They can tell you about how Khrushevites were capitalist restorationists or revisionists, but in the end, no one cares about arguments from the past about how plunging your tanks into Budapest was revisionism, plunging tanks into stuff is just based, even if done by revisionists.
In the UK the entire thing around tankie discourse by Eurocommunists and general reformists culminated in the creation of the New Communist Party of Britain ('77).
