No, I evidently (the word has a meaning you know) responded to an erroneous factual statement. But given your current outspoken support for al-Qaeda, I have no idea what you might consider "revolutionary": https://twitter.com/LouisProyect1/status/647763922347524098 https://twitter.com/LouisProyect1/status/647764060155572224 In fact, I'm almost certainly happier without knowing. So there's really no need to explain it.
I use the word "revolutionary" in Marxist terms whatever your predilection. I don't think there is much difference ideologically between Hamas and the al-Nusra front so I would be just as happy seeing Hamas using MANPAD's to bring down an IDF F-16 as I would be seeing al-Nusra bring down a MIG. I understand that you have one yardstick for an Islamist Hamas and another for al-Nusra but that is your problem, not mine.
