The People's Record

I can’t even believe that the PR propaganda team at Monsanto has the audacity to claim, in the first line of whatever that is (their mission?), that their purpose, in a word, is farmers. That is an absolutely absurd lie.

Monsanto has created despair, anguish and poverty in the lives of thousands of farmers. Monsanto creates conditions that endangers many species on earth, including (but certainly not limited to) humanity. Monsanto is one of the best examples of why capitalism is destructive. An amoral entity like Monstanto that exists only to turn a profit, even at the risk of destroying the livelihoods of innumerable people & cultures is allowed to pump the money they steal from farmers into expensive PR campaigns to cover up the damage that their actions create for their image. Capitalist-sympathizers really believe that if Monsanto was really doing something bad, that the market would take care of it, people simply wouldn’t buy from Monsanto in the imaginary world where capitalism isn’t destructive and horrible.

Monsanto is a parasite on society - one that we’re forced to endure under capitalism, and one that would have no purpose in a more planned society.

Here’s an itemized history of every evil thing Monsanto has done that is public information (I’m sure there’s a great deal we don’t know). And check this article out about why thousands of readers elected Monsanto as 2012’s most evil corporation.
