There is a creolic blending here, influenced more explicitly by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., by Marshall Rosenberg's "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life" and Charles Eisenstein's "Sacred Economics"

Gaia continues running on a Health Platform, healthy democracy for wealthy economy for healthy ecopolitics for wealthy democratic energy. The idea of free markets as those embedded in democratic transactional service to a local community Is as old and conservative as the idea of health being embedded in a real organic economic body and political mind, actually communicating and playing nice with each other. The primal goal of old school markets, in good weather times, was to grow polycultural health, investments as rich as diverse nutritional needs of consuming and producing constituents. So too, in bad climate times, a depressed and fading market was, and is, to survive Lose economic and Lose environmental EarthTrends, becoming more monoculturally played out, exhausted, Often picking up, emigrating toward more promising lands and fresh water, more breathable air, healthier opportunities for robust democratic fair transparent mutually vulnerable win/win healthy-wealth transactions. Robust markets are rich in co-passionate exchanges, a flow between non-violent consumers and producers rooted in healthy cooperative investments in and from and of nutrition-sharing hearts and minds and voices, thoughts with feelings still attached. The right to free communicating markets is a right of democratic access and an ecological positive corollary right of equal freedom from investing in poison, imprisoning the competition, waging war against those who terrify our megalomania with their own autonomous hubris, violent lies hypocrisy narcissism egocentrism anthropocentrism xenophobia patriarchalism homophobia win/lose evolutionary competitions, runaway capital hoarding, moral bankruptcy, investment in ego-maniacal agendas, hate, elitism, racism, autonomous media and market control, feelings of grandiose entitlement, Jealous and zealous bad faith sold out as spiritualized and denatured disembodied unmarketable unfree BadNews anti-truth. Meanwhile, Gaia continues running on a Health Platform, healthy natural/spiritual democracy for wealthy secular/sacred economy for healthy left/right bicameral ecopolitics for wealthy democratic free-market energy.
