Man, this was hard to watch. At first it was really fun watching her dunk on Vaush but then she segues into talking about Vietnam and Agent Orange and damn, it's hard stuff.

Vaush is just so fucking lazy. Like I strongly disagree with Luna on a lot of points (not an ML, disagree on the coherence of MLism and its theory of the state and transition, think there's sections of Vietnamese thought Luna doesn't really consider like Ngô Văn Xuyết's work, criticisms of Vietnam she doesn't really engage with) but Vaush's critique is just so fucking lazy it's embarrassing like he's read next to nothing and doesn't understand what he did read. Like my God, even if you disagree with say Anarchopac who has also made response videos to MLs on Youtube, she's completing a PhD focused on early 20th century anarchism (which I very much look forward to seeing finished) and has actual grasp of material that someone like Vaush does not even attempt.
Yeah for sure, I consider myself ML-ish, I can't really claim any specific ideology, I'm just an absorber at this point. But I can recognize when someone makes an argument that is just vacuous. Vaushcuous?
