ND21 DG AffTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 2 | Opponent: Lexington AG | Judge: Javier Navarette Deleuze ACSubjectivity is the basis for ethics – it is a call for us to live life in a certain way, so it requires a concept of a subject who can answer this call. The only ethical claims that can be normative are ones that flow from the subject's constitutive instability – the 'I think' is not the 'I am'. The 'I think' does not determine the subject – it is merely its capacity. Thinking only affects a subject as a being in time and so is not a transcendent feature.Transcendent subject hood fails because of differentiation through time causes instability.Deleuze 68 ~Deleuze, Gilles. Difference and Repitition. Translated by Paul Patton. 1968.~ AA Impact: Stable subjectivity makes critique impossible since it takes empirical features and treats it as a model, which provides no place for contestation
And, instability necessitates the politics of active desire – an affirmative desire that embraces the constitution of difference – and a rejection of reactive desire – a desire that reduces anything to a transcendent identity or a singular relation.NEXT, the state currently commits acts that overcode subjects, but that does not mean the state inherently bad. It is a process rather than a thing that changes over time and it is our job to mold it to foster active desire and the process of becoming .Robinson 09 ~Andrew. Andrew Robinson is a political theorist and activist based in the UK. His book Power, Resistance and Conflict in the Contemporary World: Social Movements, Networks and Hierarchies (co-authored with Athina Karatzogianni) was published in Sep 2009 by Routledge. "In Theory Why Deleuze (still) matters: States, war-machines and radical transformation". Ceasefire. September 10th~ AA The politics of active desire is the only way we can promote the social relations the state seeks to suppress – this allows us to envision a truly revolutionary praxis, where difference is promoted and desire is no longer misdirected towards fascism.~K and R 13~ Karatzogianni and Robinson 13 ~Athina Karatzogianni and Andrew Robinson. "Schizorevolutions vs. Microfascisms: A Deleuzo-Neitzschean Perspective on State, Security, and Active/Reactive Networks." From the Selected Works of Athina Karatzogianni. July 2013. Works.bepress.com/athina_karatzogianni/19~ JW Active desire prevents our desire from being co-opted towards closure of identity, which is the root cause of material violence.Deleuze and Guattari 77 ~Deleuze and Guattari. Deleuze and Guattari. "Anti-Oedipus." Pg. 26-29. 1977.~ MK Thus, the standard and ROB is embracing the politics of active desire. That's key to education – majoritarian stabilized schooling wrecks thought and is unethical.Carlin and Wallin ~Carlin, Matthew. Wallin, Jason. "Deleuze and Guattari, Politics and Education." Bloomsbury. 2014. Pg. 119-121~ MK Prefer the standard additionally – general understandings of the relation between norms, subjects, and the world are insufficient for ethics because there is a gap between discursive regimes and real subjectivity. Only structures of affect distinguish the subject from static concepts of it – it is cruelly optimistic to think we can fit into stable structures. SCHAEFER 13:~Schaefer '13. Schaefer, D. "The Promise of Affect: The Politics of the Event in Ahmed's The Promise of Happiness and Berlant's Cruel Optimism." Theory and Event 16.2 (2013). Project MUSE. Web. LHP MK~ Outweighs – Even you win your framework, this outweighs because we cant cohere to that normContentionThus the advocacy: I affirm resolved: A just government ought to recognize an unconditional right of workers to strike. I am willing to clarify or specify anything in CX to avoid frivolous T debates. PICs don't negate because general principles tolerate exceptions1) The recognition of the right to strike is a line of flight against capitalism and the employer. Strikes recognize the fluid nature of being and avoid the static nature of the worker.Lim 19 ~Woojin Lim Writer for the Harvard Crimson and Philosophy concentrator at Harvard, 12-11-2019"The Right to Strike" https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2019/12/11/lim-right-to-strike/~~ AX 2) The right to strike is key to embracing new relations. The right to strike causes community building that forms new relations that break past the binary of worker and employerGreen 19 ~Ken Green, 10-29-2019"How Unions Build Strength Through Community Engagement" https://www.uniontrack.com/blog/community-engagement~~ AX 3) Only by reframing the question to the potentiality of the strike as a space of knowledge production can we hope to destabilize systems of power and imperialism.Azoulay 19 (Ariella Aisha Azoulay, Imagine Going on Strike: Museum Workers and Historians, November 2019, Issue ~#104, https://www.e-flux.com/journal/104/299944/imagine-going-on-strike-museum-workers-and-historians/) Recut AX 4) The right to strike represents a key line of flight within capitalism – a means of 'becoming minoritarian' which can break free from institutionalized modes of being.T.C.

SO21 COVID ACTournament: JW Patterson HS Invitational | Round: 3 | Opponent: Broken Arrow CF | Judge: Shawn Rafferty I affirm the resolution:Resolved: The member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines.Util FrameworkI value morality, because the verb "ought" implies a moral obligation.My criterion is utilitarianism.Only utilitarianism can legitimately justify policies to the public, since they inevitably entail trade-offs. Though perhaps appropriate for individuals, rule-based moral codes create irresolvable bureaucracy when applied to governments.Gary Woller ~BYU Prof., "An Overview by Gary Woller", A Forum on the Role of Environmental Ethics, June 1997, pg. 10~ Prefer utilitarianism for two additional reasons.First, the government derives its legitimacy from a social contract, in which individuals give up freedom in exchange for protection from harm. Therefore, a government that doesn't look after its citizens' well-being would be illegitimate.Second, death is the greatest denial of freedom since it destroys all possibilities and life projects – this means that life is the greatest impact under utilitarianism and relevant under any other ethical framework.Bauman 95 ~Zygmunt Bauman (University of Leeds Professor Emeritus of Sociology).

SO21 DG AffTournament: JW Patterson HS Invitational | Round: 1 | Opponent: Coppell RM | Judge: Amanda Nobra I affirm the resolution:Resolved: The member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines.Deleuze FrameworkWe are dynamic – overtime, affective encounters with our surroundings through the subject's constitutive instability and time shape subjectivity – our model resists the imposition of sameness onto a chaotic world. Thinking only affects a subject as a being in time and so is not a transcendent feature.Deleuze 68 – Deleuze, Gilles. Difference and Repitition. Translated by Paul Patton. 1968 Our instability necessitates power structures of rhizomatic becoming that embrace difference. Dominant economic models repress creative desires and over-code social life – fields that are not intelligible within straited space are excluded as deviant.Rowe 13 – Rowe, J. E. (2013). Understanding economic development as a Deleuzian "plateau." Local Economy, 28(1), 99–113. doi:10.1177/0269094212465580, Agastya The politics of stable subjectivity coopts all attempts at resistance – it stabilizes complex features into unchanging models which dooms all radical praxis to failure.Rolli – Rolli, Marc.
