It is the free market when Alaskan “voters” are the OWNERS of the resource. She got a better deal for the “owners” at the expense of oil businesses that have had record profits recently.
Sounds exactly like the free market when you are allowing what you own to be used, and the person using it is making huge profits, to renegotiate the terms of use so that the owners ALSO make more out of the deal.
Sounds like a “win - win” scenario that the free market excels at.

Really? If that is not a socialist view of ownership, I don’t know what is.
