Campism is a revisionist position among nominal communists which believes that the current world is divided into two geopolitical "camps" — the imperialist West led by the United States and European Union and the "anti-imperialist" East led by the Russian Federation and People's Republic of China. Campists omit the capitalist and imperialist nature of both Russia and China, the latter of which they view as being "socialist," and combine this view with the belief that these imperialist powers will create a state of "multipolarity" without reference to the condition of each bloc's exploited proletariat and its liberation.[1] Most campists are followers of Dengism.
Campism can be viewed as a modern iteration of the social-chauvinist and militarist views adopted by the Second International during the First World War, in which opportunist parties supported the imperialism and bourgeoisie of their home country against the working class of another. Both versions of this chauvinist view are contrasted with the Marxist–Leninist understanding of revolutionary defeatism.
