I guess you still don't get my question. Why the incessant need for the normative ground? People for tens of thousands of years have successfully communicated without it; relatively egalitarian societies in the past have not required it to create communication among equals. To assume that we must find some "normative grounding" for communication is a symptom of life in contemporary capitalist societies; it is not the antidote.
