Monsanto might retain some benefits by bribing the state (again, only possible when the state exists in the first place).
But their biggest fascist benefit is in patent law (which is immoral, in all cases, along with the entire concept of IP). They can patent a planet, are waived from all consequences that their modified food might impose upon consumers, and if anyone DARES to take that and improve it or make it safer, they are sued into oblivion and/or locked into a cage. It is the artificial monopoly that is the real killer, because the monopoly is where they shirk all accountability, and every natural mechanism of the market is beaten down to a pulp.

Yeah, well put. Fuck Monsanto.
Rather sad with all the potential of modern science and genetic engineering, that with our fascist system we have held them down so low that the very best polymerase chain reactions have brought for us is "roundup ready" and "terminator" plants.
Great! Food plants that require extra industrial pollution and don't even give you seed back! There's progress!
Clearly Americans thousands of years ago were much more skilled agricultural engineers. I bet their success was in part due to embrace of the ideas of libertarianism.
