Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Keir Hardie one of the OG revisionists, as in along with Kautsky and During?
Thoughts On Jeremy Corbyn?
And? Kerensky, Kautsky, Bernstein etc. were all "anti-capitalist" - and yet, see what they accomplished. The only revolutionary function of a Labour government is to disillusion workers with modern social democracy.
Bears remembering that Labour actually supported WW1.
He was a Fabian, at least.
Eh not really, MacDonald opposed it as did most of the rank and file, and elements that would join the Labour party post-war (especially the Cooperative Party) opposed the war during it also. To boot, the great anti-war campaigner John MacLean actually stood as a Labour candidate during the 1921 election.
Point to me a socialist who shouldn't be considered a revisionist. Even Engels and Lenin didnt revise the works of Marx.
