1 +Democracy and Capitalism are fatally intertwined; Capitalism continues to thrive at the expense of democratic ideas. Left unchecked, capitalism will continue to rupture democracies globally; corporate elites, lack of free and fair elections, and runaway climate change all point to democracies dying at the hands of Capitalism. Reich, 9
2 +Robert B. Reich, former U.S. secretary of labor, is professor of public policy at the University of California, Berkeley. This article is adapted from his book, Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2007). “How Capitalism Is Killing Democracy,” 12 October 2009, https://foreignpolicy.com/2009/10/12/how-capitalism-is-killing-democracy/ Cgilbert

4 +It was supposed to be a match made in heaven. Capitalism and democracy…
5 +AND
6 +… the challenge for citizens is to stop these economic entities from being the authors of the rules by which we live.
7 +
8 +Debate is a deliberative democracy that has become over coded with Capitalism. Entry fees for national tournaments continually rise, debate camps are pricing out students’ ability to attend, and hired judges/assistant coaches are continuously underpaid and overworked. We think an appropriate response is to NOT conform to expected norms of debate as a way of being civilly disobedient WITHIN the activity.
9 +
10 +Debate has become too insular and full of itself; only concerned with white sensibilities while protecting power and privilege in the community. Judges, and debaters alike, must change their relationship to arguments and their opponents; focusing on normative interps crowds out discussions about privilege and power. Students should be allowed to kritik debate because the things we discuss inherently AFFECT debate; disregard “dropped arguments” if we win our top-level framing. Smith, 14
11 +Elijah J Smith is the Director of the Rutgers University-Newark Debate Team. Elijah held debate coaching and programming positions throughout the world, including at Wake Forest University and the University of California, Berkley, and in programs in Shanghai, China. Smith has been one of debate's shining stars as he progressed from high school and collegiate debate competition to coaching. A Newark native, Smith began debating as a student at University High School. In spring 2013, Smith helped make history in the collegiate debate world when he and his debate partner, Ryan Wash, won that year’s national Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) championship title and garnered the championship title for the National Debate Tournament (NDT), a stunning achievement unparalleled by any team in the history of the two tournaments. Moreover, Smith and Wash were the first African-American team to win the NDT and the second African-American team to win the CEDA tournament. “DEVELOPING OUR ENVIRONMENT: PLANTING THE SEEDS FOR THE ACTIVIST MODEL,” 30 January 2014, http://victory-briefs.squarespace.com/vbd/2014/1/developing-our-environment-planting-the-seeds-for-the-activist-model Cgilbert

13 +Despite popular opinion, I think you should be rooted in the topic …
14 +AND
15 +… on behalf of those who cannot advocate for themselves.
16 +
17 +Thus, I stand resolved that civil disobedience in a democracy is morally justified as a response to unrestrained Capitalism. Today’s value is human life OVER profits. Today’s Value Criterion is subject formation. Debate is a space where we learn arguments that will shape how we view the world. ALL we take away is knowledge from this round so the VC in today’s debate HAS to be about what we learn and HOW it shapes us.

21 +The aim to satisfy capitalism's urge for limitless growth - causes exploitation, and destroys value to life while trying to stave off the inevitable collapse. Clark, 12

24 +What lies at the heart of this insanity? It is this: Commanding an implacable and …

28 +Capitalism’s exploitation of labor and resources will inevitably collapse modern civilization—radical redistribution of resources is necessary to avert extinction. Ahmed, 14

32 +AND
33 +… if resources are distributed in a reasonably equitable fashion."
34 +
35 +Thus, we endorse civil disobedience through the affirmation of the Communist Hypothesis. Every ethical decision – up to the ballot itself – should be infused with all of the significance of humanity’s destiny. The question regarding the aff is “does it confirm or contradict the communist hypothesis.” If we win the uniqueness question, you should reject alternatives because they reduce life to a barbaric ratrace and stand opposed to universal emancipation. Badiou, 8

42 +Appealing to the system for an end to exploitation is like having a fox guard a hen house – laws will be circumvented and used to maintain the legitimacy of the system. That means politics must begin from the outside in order to effectuate real change. Moody, 1
