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.”
