I always assumed the lyric was quite simply saying that all Russia did by swapping communism for capitalism was to flood it with McDonalds (heart disease) and Levi jeans (bootleg clothing, since there was likely to be a lot of pretend Levi jeans). Two of their favourite big targets.

In short, the man who had read everything published today, would be more stupid than a man who had read nothing."
