How is anti Western something bad? They are the ones who have been bullying the rest of the world for the past 200 years and continue to want to do so, not to take it to xenophobic levels but anti ststus quo is necessary if you want a multi polar world.
It's always the dream of the petty bourgeoisie to live in a world where they don't have to fear being ousted and expropriated by the big bourgeoisie. That's what the dream of the "multi polar world" is. This is a sham though as capital naturally concentrates- even if the current winner fell, there would be a winner taking its place anew. Even if "the West" fell the problems for the working class would not be over as there would be new powers rising to exploit them in largely the same way.
The real solution is an international one, against all capital big and small, against war, and the linking of labor movements across borders.
I think this could fall into what Mao called "leftist" adventurism, and I do believe that in the context of international and national levels there are situations where the national bourgeoisie takes a revolutionary role, such as it is the case of, for example, Bolivia or Venezuela, where the lack of a scientific Marxist socialism leads to, in some form or another, the national bourgeoisie to be in the power. Still, in the geopolitical game, they play a revolutionary role as the material conditions are not set for a true people's movement due to the West interventionist policies (coups and installments of fascists regimes in Latin America, and so on). I am not saying that in this way they would be liberated from the exploitation, but it would be one dialectical step further into true emancipation from the ruling classes.
