(S)/he is talking about how we only allow for capitalistic political philosophies and how we isolate countries that go for socialist or communist ideals for the sole reason of their socio-economic stance. The cold war is over and we are still isolating Cuba (honestly, what have they done to deserve it?) and we are doing that to Venezuela right now and they are not immoral by any means. No matter what the Neocons say, we judge other countries on whether they are pro-western free market economies or not. Saudi Arabia is one of the most anti-democratic countries out there in the world today, and we support them while Venezuela is very democratic and we are isolating them because Chavez is a socialist and anti-imperialistic.
