The title is completely unironic. It deals with the reality of life in most of the non western world. Western liberals mock these nations for their supposed lack of freedoms whilst at the same time working hard to asset strip them and exploit their financial weakness. The line "just brings heart disease and boot leg clothing" refers directly to the collapse of the former Soviet Union after 'glasnost' and perestroika. The former soviet citizens were promised a shining capitalist wonderland but all they ended up with was bootleg versions of western clothing brands and a slew of fast food chains which altered the national diet and caused a wave of obesity and heart problems across Eastern Europe. Many who lived under communism (around 70% according to recent polls) would rather return to the Soviet Union than continue with the gangster capitalism that exists in Russia now that America and the rest of the west have realised it's difficult to do business (exploit natural resources) in Russia.
