Shall we go, you and I, while we can? Through... the transitive nightfall of diamonds
robert hunter— "Dark Star" (Live/Dead (1969))
Operational analysis ... cannot raise the decisive question whether the consent itself was not the work of manipulation a question for which the actual state of affairs provides ample justification. The analysis cannot raise it because it would transcend its terms toward transitive meaning toward a concept of democracy which would reveal the democratic election as a rather limited democratic process. Precisely such a non-operational concept is the one rejected by the authors as “unrealistic” because it defines democracy on too articulate a level as the clear-cut control of representation by the electorate popular control as popular sovereignty.
