Predictably, Western media and social media were much less vocal about the slaughter in Lebanon. https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/60665 -- “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is humanity’s original virtue.

No, revenge is not what we should strive for. These stupid attacks in Paris are already an act of revenge. And they create only damage for the struggle of the oppressed for freedom. No, mass mobilisations for the withdrawal of the imperialist military from all countries in the Third World, and behind their own borders. Expressed in concrete demands, not a wild rethoric.

My own view is that these ideas have some relevance and some elements are frankly useless. This piece of writing was meant to be a bit of media analysis and not a theoretical debate. Quite frankly there is a touch of Eurocentrism at play when people are quoting texts from the era of the gold standard and not even mentioning the writings of the South American socialists who are talking about neoliberalism and American empire in this century. It strikes me that you are taking an effort at mild humor in a direction towards nastiness and condescension. Why is your business, I just don't have to take your bait and give you the satisfaction of engaging on that level. I imagine part of it stems from the "anti-revisionist" bit you are about, which in my understanding is focused on arguing about Stalin's glory while failing to accept that the man had no grasp of Hegel's dialectical method.

I wonder of the US will agree with Russia that the other 10s of thousands are "terrorists"?], and that Russia had met with many representatives of the organisation [for the joke that Russia has met with the FSA, see Propaganda and Shady Characters How Russia Created Its Meetings with the Free Syrian Army http://eaworldview.com/2015/11/syria-feature-propaganda-and-shady-characters-how-russia-created-its-meetings-with-the-free-syrian-army/].
