If Correa is avoiding the fate suffered by other Latin American countries with oil, he is preserving his country, not oppressing it unfairly.

You're mixing two ideas here. The fate of Latin American countries is not necessarily tied to oil and the ecology. Correa is making a case based on ecological grounds, and it's not a strong one. It's also not one that applies to, say, Venezuela, which is in a deep hole due to mistaken oil economics and a brutal regime, not ecology.

Some of the tactics used by resource extractors led to the socialism you were complaining about elsewhere.

Correa is entirely able to stop the spread of socialism within his own borders. He's the president, after all.

The chuckle heads who dumped whatever where they pleased, bribed the officials to look the other way and hired the private death squads when they didn't, all of this had the effect of saying, "If we socialize our stuff, we don't have to deal with these assholes."

Short-sighted to the max in the rare cases that actually happened as you said. That does not mean that Correa learned the right lesson by saying "well, then no one gets the oil." Plenty of nations have democracy and oil production.
