I think that micharacterizes his evilness and intent. He's specifically saying that free trade was supposed to be a good thing because it would allow exploitation but it's not allowing enough exploitation for his tastes. Essentially he's arguing against liberal economic colonialism to support fascist economic colonialism. And he doesn't want those countries to ever gain any advantage.
