Would be cool if the Western left was more familiar with these histories instead of painting with a broad brush. Moralizing is easy when you use orientalism and do away with the nuances of the revolutionary projects you dislike.

Not sure if you are trying to imply that I'm a westerner, or that I am against genuinely anti-colonial projects organised/headed by anarchists. I hope that you do not conflate my criticism of anarchists often (but not always) taking the side of the imperial core's invasions, genocides, and other assorted colonial horrors with claiming that anarchists can never oppose colonialism.
