Should China have also de-Stalinized in the 1950s then?
False dilemma, China did not have to support reactionaries around the globe to defend Marxism-Leninism at home
Are you implying that China didn't de-stalinize? But even then, you don't oppose revisionism by turning around and supporting actual anti communism, that's not even coherent.
Decades later, yeah.
I guess my point is that China's initial motivation to split is legitimate, regardless of their poor policy later.
