when you refer to 'people who are NOT for universal human rights who believe in liberalism for liberals and cannibalism for cannibals': I think that in MOST cases, you are distorting the views of people who believe in self-determination for countries, and oppose military intervention, or colonial rule. This does not mean that they necessarily support right-wing policies in independent states; rather that they believe that the states should be, and remain, independent, even if this means that they pursue right-wing policies.

Some of the countries formerly ruled by the British and other empires do currently have very RW dictatorial governments. Does that mean that the British should never have ended their empire, or that anti-imperialism is a bad thing?
