This piece was originally a series of blog posts on a personal blog by friend and contributor to the Lever, Muhsin Yorulmaz. His personal blog is no longer accessible to the public, but he has volunteered this piece to The Lever due to the closeness of both Maoist and “less than Maoist” elements to our publication, in the hopes of provoking a discussion about what, concretely, behind the label ought to concern communist revolutionaries in 2019 about the Chinese experience and those who most strongly appropriate it. We hope for this to provide an introduction to a series of forthcoming essays on ‘anti-revisionism’ and it’s relevance today.
