This article is about the revisionist tendency outside of China. For the social-fascist ideology of the People's Republic of China, see Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.
Picture of Chinese revisionist despot Deng Xiaoping, from whom Dengism is named.

Dengism is a revisionist, social-imperialist political tendency largely found in online spaces in the West. Dengists premise their views off unquestionable support for the modern social-imperialist People's Republic of China, its ruling party, its revisionism, and its capitalist reforms alongside any other state which they dynamically regard as either "anti-imperialist" or "actually existing socialism." Although largely taking influence from the views of Deng Xiaoping, its namesake, and his successors, Dengists eclectically incorporate ideas from other revisionist and anti-Marxist movements, including Maoism–Third Worldism, Brezhnevism, Khrushchevism, and others.

Dengists opportunistically support capitalist-imperialist wars and states such as the Russian Federation, claiming these reactionary regimes will bring about "multipolarity" without reference to Marxist–Leninist theory or the aims of proletarian revolution. Dengists generally disregard class struggle altogether in favor of a campist view of national struggle between Eastern "anti-imperialist" and Western imperialist states. Dengists often care very little about revolution in capitalist countries, often employing third worldist rhetoric.

Because of Dengists opportunist, highly revisionist, racist, and chauvinistic views and almost exclusive presence online as opposed to any physical organizations and parties, Dengism can be compared to other tendencies such as patriotic socialism.

Notable communities

Dengists, being largely detached from actual revolutionary struggle and also being largely Westerners, lack any actual major political formations. Most Dengist "organizing" takes place online. Notable Dengist online communities and propaganda outlets include:
