The archive's reading. An organ that keeps a defeated tendency's record in that tendency's own documents, sectioned by its splits and its collapse, so each faction of a split stays stated after the organization that housed it ended. The archive reads its 'Anti-Dogmatists Unable to Unite' and 'Major Issues and Debates' sections as the losing side of the losing side kept for later readers, held by an archive independent of every party it records.

What its record can settle
- what an anti-revisionist organization in a covered country stated in its own documents
- how the encyclopedia periodizes a national movement's waves, splits and collapse
- which anti-revisionist periodicals it lists by country
What it cannot settle
- the completeness of its holdings for any organization
- how its documents were gathered (unchecked here)
- the record of tendencies outside anti-revisionism
Kept apart
- NOT an organ of any party it records
- NOT a general encyclopedia of Marxism: its subject is anti-revisionist movements, organizations and parties
- NOT a living movement's site: its sections record the movements' collapse and dissolution
Relations
- part_of: Marxists Internet Archive — EROL is served under www.marxists.org/history/erol/ (the saved source URLs); the saved contents page does not state the relation in prose
