...80,000 tones of food rotting in Venezuelan government warehouses is a pretty good pisser-offer, too.

Let's face it, a lot those "socialist movements" have been reduced to drug smuggling operations and the resulting violence. Some socialism is a good thing. Without it, we wouldn't have things like standards. Standards is a huge thing. An inch is an inch everywhere in the country. Nationwide 110V house current, quality standards that we actually enforce...it's endless what we've done with the socialist tools we do have.

I don't think the rest of the world gives a damn about American ideals. They seem to be interested in immediate results, something we haven't really demonstrated all that well. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but a lot of the world is much closer to hunger and death than we are, let alone nationwide electricity.
