Revisionism and Counterrevolution consists of Jose Maria Sison's writings on the subject from 1969 to 2022. These are largely critiques of the Lava revisionists of the old Communist Party of the Philippines, which turned to revisionism as early as 1935 and eventually by the latter half of the 1960's adopted the revisionist line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) to viciously start attacking the young proletarian revolutionaries who reestablished the Communist Party of the Philippines in December 1968. In this regard they turned into revisionist fascists in the service of the Marcos fascist regime in fomenting bloody intrigues against the Party, the people's army and the national democratic mass organizations.

It also presents the Party's antirevisionist line and traces the development and bankruptcy of modern revisionism in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics after the death of Stalin in 1953 and subsequently in China after the death of Mao Zedong in 1976.
