My buddy here from upside down land ready to fight the revisionists in wikipedia 24/7 in the name of Marxism-Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Guevarism. But he just happened to be against all the Actually Existing Socialist states.

    As far as i know, Ho Chi Minh always wanted Vietnam to be socialist. He literally used a planned economy and was close to siding with China during the Sino Soviet Split. Khrushchev told him to not attack South Vietnam and greatly reduced soviet aid to North Vietnam because of his “peaceful coexistence” bullshit. So Ho Chi Minh strenghtened ties with China who started aiding North Vietnam more. After Khrushchev was ousted he did restore good ties with the USSR as soviet aid started coming through again, but he nevertheless never took a side in the Sino Soviet Split. It was only after he died and Le Duan took over that Vietnam openly sided with the USSR against China. So calling Ho Chi Minh revisionist is ludicrous.
