This seems to be a tirade against the West in general and the USA in aprticular as the source of all troubles in the world. I do not know what to call it, not idealistic in the strictest sense, it is rather delusionary. For these, ,the world out there in their imagiantion is pure, straight, simple and altruistic untill the West provokes it for selfish motives and greeds. Their compelling reasons are colonialism and slavery which are in fact not Western inventions. These things were going on from time imemmorial. True, the West certainly continued those practices, but it is the West which stopped them also. William Wlburforce (MP) was instrumental in abolishing slavery peacefully by his life-time legislative effort in one-third of the globe (that is the British Empire) about 75 years before Abraham Lincoln did it in the US through violence.

Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr would not have succeded with the Nazis (Hitler) or Stalin & Mao (Communists). Both were confronting the Christian West with a different conscience. That is why they succeeded.

This article a repetative vituperations including some obscene language which does not deserve any serious note.
