To take the words, "democracy for the bottom", from its purely verbal formulation
and to consider them in a more pure structure of government, we must approach
some of the the words in the Constituion in a structural, or geometric, formulation.
A 'geometric' or 'mathmatical' approach lends itself to a better delineation of the
structure of government. It seems a better way to avoid some of the confusions of
language and also the referential problems of the so-called LinguisticTurn.
The first thing we notice is the triadic nature of the government. All three branches
are filled with people taken from the Bottom of the triad and elected as
representatives, and appointees. The Legislative branch passes laws that holds
the triad together. The Executive branch enforces those laws and the Judicial
insures that they conform to the requirements of the Constitution. The triad is
always in motion. It never stops. It periodically changes the people that occupy
the elected and appointed positions of the triad. Those changes come from the
electoral process that emanates from the bottom of the triad.
Occupy Wall Street is an ingenious movement of the Bottom to place Wall
Street on notice that "all's not well on wall street". The movement occurs
outside the accepted structure of government hence, its characterization as
being revolutionary. However, the triadic form of government recognizes that,
if government is being contaminated with a value system from outside the
governmental structure, the sole place from which legitimate change can begin
is from the Bottom.
