I agree they're anti-western imperialism but that's not sufficient to be anti-imperialist in a broader sense. Even the US opposes imperialism of their rivals--that's part of the nature of imperial powers. But it would be very misleading to describe them as anti-imperialist. To qualify you need to take a principled stance against actions that constitute imperialism, no matter who is taking them.
