RDS: Well that's a good start, but we can go much further.

Rob: Well I just wanted to bring that up because it involves Monsanto and you said something about Monsanto and I'd like hear more about your take on Monsanto.

RDS: Well first off I think Monsanto should be sued for trespassing by every farmer whose fields are contaminated by Monsanto's seed. It's a sign of how criminal our justice system, including our supreme court, has become...that Monsanto can sue farmers that they have invaded rather than the other way around. In my view any farmer that finds a Monsanto seed growing on his land has a right to sue Monsanto for trespass.

Rob: I love it. And you mentioned in your question and answer session at HOPE X, which I listen to, about how there are I think 44 dictatorships -- the US supports 42 of them, except for Cuba and North Korea...and that protects Cuba from Monsanto. I'd like to hear...can you talk a little bit about that?

RDS: Let me start by giving the credit to Ambassador Mark Palmer, whose book Breaking the Real Axis of Evil is still a wonderful book. And if I were ever God, he would be under Secretary of State for Peace and his job would be to eliminate all dictators on the planet within 5 years. Most of them with buyout strategies in a very humane fashion.

But the US government is hypocritical. I mean we're looking at this Ukraine incident, which may still be found to be a false flag provocation, and nobody wants to talk about the USS Vincennes shooting down an Iranian aircraft a few years ago. The US is hypocritical -- the US chooses to deal with dictators because they're a top-down counterpart. The two-party tyranny understands dictators; it does not understand democracy....and it fears democracy. And so I believe it is a black stain -- and here I give Ron Paul credit, and many of his books including that book on having a foreign policy of peace and commerce and friendship toward all people -- that's...I buy into that completely. We have no business at all continuing this post-Cold War military industrial complex which we seek to arm dictators against their own people. And we seek to use up the tax payer dollar enriching foreign billionaires, not just US billionaires. So there's a great deal that is wrong in America, and it's wrong because we have a two-party tyranny that is not accountable to the people.

Rob: By the way, OpEdNews today published an article that specifically addresses the USS Vincennes shooting down an Iranian airliner.

RDS: So good for you because I also saw it in the Huffington Post and I was very pleased to see the Huffington Post have something that intelligent.

Rob: Yes, so you mentioned a couple of unusual terms and I was hoping you could talk about them. You talk about panarchy and holarchy.

RDS: Panarchy and what?

Rob: Holarchy...H-O-L-A-R-C-H-Y.

RDS: I don't remember holarchy, but let's talk about panarchy, which is not anarchy. One of the problems that I have with the Libertarian -- and I got to give them credit. The Daily Bell did a wonderful interview with me -- 38 questions -- that is published online. If you look up Daily Bell Robert Steele you'll get right to it. But they asked me about some of my issues with libertarianism because I would run for President as a Libertarian if the Libertarian party would nominate me. But I don't think they will because they have some problems understanding the free rider issue. Anarchy and libertarianism are rooted in individual selfishness and that's not exactly the right way to do it. I think the individual's right to throw a punch ends where your nose begins. And that's not something Libertarians are completely comfortable with the best I can tell. What we have to do is we have to understand that a good third of our livelihood, a good third of our prosperity and our ability to be at peace depend on our community. And so we need to embrace community decision making and we need to embrace respect for the rights and privileges of one another insofar as the community has determined them, and said that they really do need to go. I mean I personally am beginning to doubt that private property is a good thing. Certainly I believe that individuals should be able to occupy private property and have a mandate from the community as they do in certain areas of Mexico and France. And they should not be deprived of that property. But they should also have an obligation to protect that property, to do no harm against that property, and if they do not have an heir to take over the property, then the property reverts to the community. But I can join the midst of getting...and I guess I would throw in absentee landlords, as far as I'm concerned, are toast. You should not be allowed to own land or buildings as an absentee landlord -- those should revert to the community.

Rob: Okay, now you...the next phrase that I was going to ask you about it "gift societies." That seems to figure in pretty closely with what you described about one third of our livelihood depending upon our community.
