There is much political ontology baked into linguistic matters like imperative vs declarative phrasings. "I would prefer you do X" vs "Please do X". The former implies a world of free agents, trading information. The latter implies a social structure of command and obey.
Sometimes inappropriate, but what if we just start using command language more, and force the issue? Are we then forced to redevelop and explicate our contextual authority structures? Does a society that uses lots of imperative language necessarily develop chain of command?

Are nonviolent communication, and its opposite, command language, not merely context-defined tools, but context defining? Do they have an activist effect on culture, creating more liberal or illiberal modes of thought and social organization?
