This frames the aff's political discussion within the consumptive processes of capital.Storr 99 (Merl, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, at the University of East London, postmodern bisexuality, Sexuality 2: 309) Capitalism is unsustainable and causes existential environmental obliteration, global structural violence, and imperial expansion.Robinson 18 (William, Prof. of Sociology, Global and International Studies, and Latin American Studies, @ UC-Santa Barbara, "Accumulation Crisis and Global Police State," 2018, https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0896920518757054) The alternative is historical materialism - it provides an effective starting point for global revolution – our use of the academic sphere as an organizing space for anti-capitalist knowledge is able to produce global change – you should reject any permutation as it forfeits totality in favor of diluted knowledge incapable of achieving revolutionKatz 2003 ADAM KATZ, adjunct English instructor at Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, NY.

Outer is an adjective that modifies space, but the object of the preposition is "space" itself – which means appropriation must solely be of space – prepositions modify nouns not adjectives.Thesaurus.com ND https://www.thesaurus.com/e/grammar/object-of-preposition/?scrlybrkr=9ded5a49~~#:~~:text=The20object20of20a20preposition20is20a20noun20(or20word,or20referenced20by20the20preposition.
