Empire ACTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 1 | Opponent: Garland DA | Judge: Nethmin Liyanage In the 21st century capital is a protracted civil war — the ongoing struggle between counter insurgency and revolution, that lies at the heart of the topic and the radical tradition. The revolution is already happening across the globe. This debate is only a question of what organizational form the revolution takes.Dean 19 (Jodi Dean, American political philosopher and professor in the Political Science department at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in New York state; "The Actuality of Revolution," February 2019, hamptoninstitution.org/the-actuality-of-revolution-jodi-dean.html) AND The party provides a form that can let us believe what we know. Global capitalism has shifted production from the terrain of the centralized power to a form of domination to which there is no outside – welcome to Empire, a new imperial regime of biopolitics and war.Connell ‘12 AND on other forms of labor and society itself" ~ibidem, 109~. The state proliferates violence while suppressing both the "weapon of criticism" and "criticism ~through~ weapons" with its injunction against the radical planning ongoing in general antagonism, transforming radical planners into docile participants at every turn by warping and appropriating radical thought. Liberation requires strikes which are impossible and unconditional.M.I. Asma, 20 (M.I. Asma is an anonymous collective of writers, thinkers, and organizers in the imperialist metropoles, writing in order to use the COVID 19 pandemic as an occasion to think capitalism and communist alternatives. "Chapter Thirteen," On Necrocapitalism, https://necrocapitalism.wordpress.com) AND for the general antagonism generated by the hegemony of white supremacy.~1~ Thus, I affirm that A just government ought to recognize an unconditional right of workers to strike. Our method is a strike against the capitalist imaginary of what a strike is where our demands are linked to a revolutionary internationalist program capable of resisting the stabilizing fascism of settler-imperialism. I’ll specify advocacy questions in CX, additionally, PICs don’t negate, proving an exception does not disprove the thesis of the affirmative.The aff looks like wildcat strikes demanding nothing but a world otherwise to racial capital TO rent strikes that refuse land enclosure and home foreclosure TO blockades that stop the flow of arms to colonial outposts TO the 2020 riots that in the middle of a pandemic was one of the biggest uprisings America has ever seen, "impossible" strikes open the horizons of political possibility against liberal sovereignty for more radical futures to emerge.Mezzadra and Nielson, 19 AND continually reproduces the conditions for insurrection and strug gle among the poor. The masses already have the potential for a strike within us all through communist affect allowing for love, friendship and care antithetical to the nature of capital. As state violence impedes on our ability to organize, we find solutions like the aff to harness our collective emotion.Wang, 20 (Jackie, is a black studies scholar, prison abolitionist, poet, multimedia artist, performer, and PhD candidate at Harvard University in African and African American Studies. She is the author of Carceral Capitalism (2018), a number of zines including On Being Hard Femme, and collections of dream poems. She has performed and exhibited work at many venues including MoMA PS1 (New York), Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), The Kitchen (New York), Los Angeles Filmforum’s Cinema Cabaret (Los Angeles), CCA: Centre for Contemporary Arts (Glasgow). "Oceanic feeling and Communist Affect," https://anticorps-palaisdetokyo.com/en/texts/oceanic-feeling-and-communist-affect AND oceanic," it becomes possible to imagine oneself as embedded in a constellation. Affect increases our power to existence — it is constitutive — all structures of power, take their seat in affect. Active affect can organize against static structures, whereas reactive affect is coopted and utilized by the state to destroy and form strict confines on identity. Thus, the role of the ballot is to endorse the debater with the best affective relation to attachment.Massumi and Aryal 15 Brain Massumi is a professor at the University of Montreal, and Yubraj is a Visiting Scholar at NYU (sponsored by Peter Nicholls) and a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Montreal, Politics of Affect. Cambridge, UK: Polity, 2015. Print. AND , organized and returned to, then fed off in an infernal cycle. Affect is the foundation for political importance: Only recognizing the affectual relation between the status quo and those who live in it can access multiple modes of political action.Berlant 14 ~Lauren, George M. Pullman Professor of English at the University of Chicago, Sex, Or The Unbearable~ AND relation to how narrative binds and seduces us toward impossible repairs and resolutions. | 11/20/21 |
Trans Genealogy ACTournament: Loyola | Round: 2 | Opponent: Immaculate Heart JL | Judge: Julian Kuffour I wake up every morning in this killing machine called america and I’m carrying this rage like a blood-filled egg and there’s a thin line between the inside and the outside a thin line between thought and action and that line is simply made up of blood and muscle and bone and I’m waking up more and more from daydreams of tipping amazonian blow darts in "infected blood" and spitting them at the exposed necklines of certain politicians or government health-care officials or those thinly disguised walking swastikas that wear religious garments over their murderous intentions or those rabid strangers parading against AIDS clinics in the nightly news suburbs there’s a thin line a very thin line between the inside and the outside.David Wojnarowicz, Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintergration, 1991, pg. 161 AND a manageable population set the stage for a war of all against all. The WTO’s involvement in medicine functions as a carceral architecture policing the boundary between nation-state and body-politic, an apparatus of law-making violence that defines which spaces and bodies are included, excluded, or indefinitely sterilized in the face HIV/AIDs medicines. People with AIDs are subjected to genocidal technologies of inspection, incarceration, and sterilization, weaponizing the AIDs body in a state of exceptionHannabach 13.

The WTO is structured by a logic of epidemic that incites the crisis of contagion in order to discipline and surveil populations in the name of public health. Their political use of disease as a spectacle mobilizes anxiety-induced governmental responses that fetishize the nuclear family as the basis of safe sex.Kagan, 15 – Dion Kagan, Lecturer in Gender Studies, School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne ("‘Re-crisis’: Barebacking, sex panic and the logic of epidemic," Sexualities, 0(0) 1–21, SAGE) AND nuclear terror, racism, misogyny, and heteronormativity ... business as usual’. The impact is the demonization of populations sutured to the spectacle of sex itself. They reify the pleasure of surveillance—the WTO’s instantiation in the health sector exhumes an emotional moral appeal to "stopping disease" which will always be rerouted to criminalize minority sexualities.Kagan, 15 – Dion Kagan, Lecturer in Gender Studies, School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne ("‘Re-crisis’: Barebacking, sex panic and the logic of epidemic," Sexualities, 0(0) 1–21, SAGE) AND the wholesale blaming of gay men for the continuation of HIV/AIDS. Thus, I affirm that The member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines.Our method of enacting a reduction in intellectual property protections for medicines is a trans genealogy offering an alternative to the politics of visibility that magnify increased surveillance, policing and violence—trans genealogy is a powerful tool for helping us dream our way into futures we want to live. A narratively deconstructing and disobedient to the notion transness is a creation of modern science – affirming our existence that resists the identity imposed by an anti-black and colonial world.Tourmaline, Eric A.

The Economic and political power of the WTO is predicated upon the notion of the medicalized deviant AIDs body deemed disposable – weaponizing the AID’s body to securitize HIV/AIDs research/treatments. The WTO is built upon an ideational vision of an alternative history that is objective and not "controversial"Anna B. Emilio, Tripping over Trips and the Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic: Legislation and Political Decisions in Brazil and the United States, 28 J. Contemp. Health L. and Pol'y 57 (2012). https://scholarship.law.edu/jchlp/vol28/iss1/5 AND threatening diseases, are at the center of so much controversy and dispute.
