The thing I hate about revisionists

I was reading Carrillo's "Eurocommunism and the State" for an article and he did that thing a lot of revisionist do where they go "well everything is revisionism!!!! Lenin was a revisionist!!! Marx was a revisionist of himself!!!" Etc. Etc.

But really they are, honestly probably purposefully, obfuscating what revisionism is. For example, he uses the change from war communism to the NEP to post-nep policies as an example of lenin being a revisionist of himself, which...no? That's not what revisionism is. That's just applying different policies to material conditions. I mean it gets a little more complicated obviously but I honestly do very much hate it.
