Was Char anti imperialist? I never could sort out the factions' motives and desires in Gundam. It had always seemed to be that the off-worlders represented exploited nations, but that was always an assumption because, again, motives and desires were always incomprehensible

There's the whole Day of Dakkar speech, but Char's motives are always pretty fuzzy.
There's definitely an anti-imperialist faction within Zeon, but the Zabi's had Zeon Deikum (Char's father) assassinated before taking over. A lot of this isn't incredibly present in the original show, but it gets explored through the sequels and various side-materials.
motives and desires were always incomprehensible
Tomino stuff in a nutshell lol
char definitely explicitly says that he's anti earth federation because they exploit the colonies at a few points, but it is definitely fuzzier than it could have been
CCA but Char's plan is "maybe I could become my own mother 
"
