A person who opposes revisionism (reinterpreting history or ideology); especially used in Communist contexts for those opposing Soviet reinterpretations of Marxism.
From anti- (against) + revisionist. Term became prominent in Cold War Communist politics when China accused the Soviet Union of revisionism.
The Sino-Soviet split of the 1960s literally centered on this word—two communist superpowers accusing each other of revisionism, which shows how ideology can splinter over interpretations as much as facts!
