I disagree with Haz on a lot of things, but Haz’s statement that revolutionary warfare is more than a mere “class war” within a vacuum and also has national-liberation aspects due to the globalistic nature of imperialism is pretty valid

This, he has no real reason to go after Luna and Hakim due to some vaguely idealistic tweets right after the shock of a new war happens
I used to follow Haz somewhat – for all his faults, he does have a first-rate philosophical mind, with takes on Hegel that at least used to be illuminating – and the Luna Oi thing goes rather far back. It’s based on the idea that, because of its anti-China stance, modern Vietnam is a revisionist country, as demonstrated by its position as “aggressor” during the Sino-Vietnamese war. It’s a little silly, but to be fair the official position of the Chinese government regarding the war is basically similar.
Of course it gets shameful when infrared orbiters – I saw this once on stream – start mocking the relative level of development in Hanoi vs. Beijing, and saying things like “most developed revisionist country.”
