Fighting For Fairness

Liberty is not a synonym for ravenous self-determination.
For every freedom to grow
there is a reciprocal freedom from incursion.

When our individual or national purpose
reduces self-with-other mutual determination
and reiterative processes of evolving redetermination
down to autonomous libertarianism
as freedom from infringements,
then our pursuit of happiness
is no longer concomitant with our hopes for growing health,
and our pursuit of wealth-hoarding freedoms
becomes idolatrously removed from unifying roots
of equal democratic liberties of and for all,
freedom to optimize wealth of health,
happiness through mutually nurturing freedoms.

Selfishly autonomous determination,
articulating as cause for self-justifying violence,
delineating as causes of nationalism’s self-without-other determinations,
is not the original intent of democratic healthy purpose,
is heading toward monoculturing degeneration instead,
the opposite of multiculturing regenerate freedoms
to pursue our mutually optimizing wealth
of health.

Beware economists and politicians who speak of growing freedoms
yet remain silent about both personal and public prerequisite investments
in history’s nondual development
of healthy wealth
as wealth for regenerating health
of multi-generations.

Beware of those who advocate your freedom
to self-optimize,
freed of cooperative mutual tax investments
while hiding our collective responsibilities
to cooperatively own healthy authorities
for recycling Earth’s most deeply resonant integrity
of health-wealthing democratic values,
Yang’s ego-centric freedom to love
Yin’s eco-centric freedom from oppression,
suppression,
repression,
depression
sunk by patriarchal hubris
of anthroself-determination.

Pursuit of global liberty
is not a safe cover story,
much less a synonym,
for healthy self with other interdependent determinations
of and for cooperatively growing health,
further investing in Earth’s culture of integral wealth.

Elitist pursuits of self-determination
disguised as synonymous with complex freedom networks
thrusting anthro-authority over eco-responsibility,
has brought us to this precipice of climate pathology,
and not shared integrity
of healthy global climates.

Original Freedoms of Intent

Do you see yourself as more Republican
or leaning more Democrat?

Oh my,
I’m a card-carrying Republican.
Came from a long patriarchal line
of red-blooded Republicans.

What makes you a Republican?
What is Republicanism, do you think?

Well…being against the Democrats, mostly.

OK.
I get that.
But, what are Republicans for
that Democrats are at least not in favor of
enough to give it sufficient priority
for you to feel economically and politically comfortable?

Republicans are Freedom Fighters.
Give us liberty or death.

Well, presumably we will all have both,
eventually,
but liberty for what,
freedom to what,
freedom from what?

Free markets
and freedom of religious expression
and free from terrorist and socialist threats,
to begin with;
freedoms protected by our Constitution
including its Amendments
and the Bill of Rights.

And presumably Democrats are, then,
for enslaved by regulation markets,
prescribed and proscribed absence of religious expression,
because they are all secret atheists anyway,
and more willing to accept terrorism and socialism
as part of Earth’s sick political and economic bounty,
and are, at best, ambivalent about freedoms
and values
asserted by Constitutional authorities,
including amendments,
defined by their Original Historical-Cultural Intent.

That sounds about right.

Would you agree that the Preamble
and the somewhat older Declaration of Independence
bear seminal weight
for establishing the Constitution’s intent
with regard to protection and promotion of freedoms?

Maybe.

Democratic freedoms
during our pre- through post-revolutionary period,
were originally defined by contrast
against a backdrop of economic and political plutocracy.
Our interdependent constitution as a free nation
composed of States with their own democratically intending constitutions
were statements that we would not be owned
nor tyrannically controlled,
taxed and terminated,
by royalty.

Freedom from plutocratic authorities lies within our U.S. Constitution’s definition
as a free union of democracies,
to live in interdependent cooperative freedoms
in which political authority’s boundaries
no longer exceed responsive economic co-invested co-responsibilities.
Which party would you argue
is more articulate about sustaining freedoms from plutocratic
centralizing
power trends and systems and ecopolitical outcomes
of jingoistic nationalism
that disguises triumphalism of the rich and powerful
becoming ever more rich and powerful?

Well, I’m not sure.
That would probably be the Greens
or the Libertarians.

And,
which party is more self-defined
as supporting regenerative interdependent responsibilities
to sustain future generations
of balanced democratic freedoms
from pathological plutocratic authorities
and yet growing freedoms to become responsibly,
nutritionally,
co-responsible nurturers and health-mentors
of and for Earth’s future cooperatively renewing
and self-regenerating
Commons?

That would be the Greens as polypathic PermaCulturists.

So, why aren’t you that,
instead of the card-carrying Republican?

Oh, that’s your easiest question yet:
Because nobody votes for the Greens,
and hardly anybody has even heard,
much less smelled or seen,
a cooperatively networking PermaCulturist.

Unless you count trees and plants and ecosystems.

But we don’t.
They can’t vote.

Or do they?

The L Word

The L word,
like the N word,
labels no one with healthy homeostatic balance within society,;
no conservative fellow-conservationist of culture
that we would want to be
and creolizingly become.

The L word
is a political caricature,
a despotic stereotype,
of what is too often economically proven
as also a faithless hypocrisy.

An authentic political person
favoring liberating inclusion
within our systemic power structures
cannot also be an economic autonomous ownership conservative.

A politically bilateral cooperative management model,
where responsibility goes up as authority comes down,
is ultimately supported through cooperative ownership
as public health
stewardship for optimizing multicultural wealth.

To own the L word
is to cooperatively own Earth,
including our nondual co-arising
nature-spirit,
descriptive-prescriptive,
logos-mythos,
yang-yin,
left-right,
deductive-inductive,
double-binding ecopolitics.

Old School Libertarians
had faith in conserving political freedoms for co-empowerment.
PostMillennials would also liberate
our faith that growing economic cooperative ownership,
and self-with-other governance,
is a normative therapeutic prescription
but also an ecological description
of how we organically have derived
optimal regenerative
multiculturally positive outcomes
throughout both history and herstory,
both economically co-owned
and conservationally co-operatively managed.

Who cooperatively owns and manages
your not primarily for elitist profit-growing enterprises,
plans,
designs,
projects,
corporations,
incarnations?
Is it your celestial Board of Directors
and your monopolistic CEO?
Or do you cooperate your days and nights through family-owned busyness and playfulness,
through your local economic and political cooperative networks
of co-owned industry and recreation,
transportation and communication,
communing self/other transport,
your cooperative interdependent ecosystemic States,
your Earth interdependent international economies?

These are each and all for ego/eco-therapeutic climate-liberating health
accruing cooperatively emergent slow-growth wealth
through WinWin regenerative games and choice-making
and self-with-other ownership of our cooperative game ourselves.

This cooperative matriarchal/patriarchal Organic Garden
is already multicultural Shabbat here,
and still not quite cooperative therapeutic economic ownership
of and for regenerative self/other-gratitude governance;
not just anti-climatically yet.
