If the USA "put a democracy" overthere and let "USA companies" "invest" in oil companies and so on the price would be the market price.

Now, lets leave the maniac in control. 20 years from now they are aware that the energy flowing in the USA is coming from them. what would impede them to boycoting or bumping up prices ??? nothing. Remember 1979 ??

In an open democratic market that wouldn't happen, because the companies would be publics, meaning that outside investors could (and indeed would) own them.

why do u think we would love to see Venezuela Oil company (the goverment owns it) being put out on the market ?? We know USA investors would by it and keep the thing running smooth...
