New Resolution Discernment

Time for New Campaign Year ReSolutions, perhaps informed with some new political economy discernment questions. Why is a free market most accessible to those with the largest investments in marketing? Could this be the same question: Why are our free political elections most accessible to those who invest most heavily in self-marketing? Why does suppression or oppression or repression, some kind of taxing expression, of the free cooperative-barter labor market feel related to the rapidly increasing disecological cost of and to Earth's formerly free commodities, elements, information, co-arising intelligence, ecosystemic integrity, and possibly some cooperative research hunting and gathering nutrients, while avoiding poisons? Why does it cost so much to competitively market the economic policies and political procedures intended to evolve healthy cooperative free markets? Why does freedom from fearful need for --debt forgiveness --redemption --absolution --ever more efficient competition and untimely death feel so much like freedom to give mutually cooperative absolution --for being human, --for not being humane enough for our own SuperEco Awareness, --for not being unnatural enough for your EgoCenter to entirely forget your cooperative political and economic RNA regenerative roots? Why do I feel and not feel free to participate in competing racist/sexist eco-political networks, structures, systems, when I buy groceries and clothes, every time I support an --overly anthro-indulgent, --over-commodified --overly toxic --overly carbon-footprinted --overly Left-brain dominant corporation, including political party corporations competing for market shares in votes, and how do I feel free to support overly incorporated candidates for overly-commodified public offices? Why does an independent permaculturist sound like an oxymoron, while a cooperative permaculturist network sounds like deeply nutritious redundancy?
