There is no evidence at all that french imperialism or dutch imperialism ever resulted in democracy anywhere. And democracies exist in every cultural block in the world. It's true to say that some pre conditions make democracy and human rights easier,. And some make it harder. The rich russian men in the capital cities, they don't want democracy. You know who doesn't love it? Is the rich men of the ruling ethnic tribe. That's not uniquely western. Ah, it's uniquely western to be oppressed.
