JF - AC - DeanTournament: Harvard | Round: 1 | Opponent: Newport EY | Judge: Eric He Part 1 – The ProblemCapitalism has evolved. Workers are no longer hired, but bought as packets of time, disconnected from any collectivity and without labor relations. No longer people, they are machines to the capitalist system. Only through an existential continuity of the comrade is solvency possible, Berardi 11:Franco Berardi, "After The Future," 2011 ~philosopher~ LHP AB Capitalism is a death cult and the apocalypse is currently happening – Earth is doomed to climate change, but we can escape, Allinson 21Allinson, J. (2021). The tragedy of the worker: towards the proletarocene. Verso Books. pg 8-17 AND of ‘adaptation’ has become the ideology of capitalism’s triumph over all life. Part 2 – Capitalist SpaceThus, I affirm: Resolved: The appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust. The affirmative defends the truth of an unjust practice but doesn’t defend a specific practice of what the next move is. Space is the domain needed for capital to extend surplus into while also being a new locus for exploitation – Shammas and Holen 19: ~(Victor L, a sociologist working at the Department of Sociology and Human Geography, University of Oslo; Tomas B., independent scholar in Oslo, Norway) "One giant leap for capitalistkind: private enterprise in outer space," 1-29-2019, pg. 5-6~ TDI AND as a domain made accessible in legal, technical, and economic ways. Private space is a façade that’s rooted in capitalism – the so called "leaders" of private space don’t care for conditions of life for the workers just the rich - Marx et al. 20:Marx, Paris, et al. "Yes to Space Exploration. No to Space Capitalism." Jacobin, 6 Aug. 2020, https://jacobinmag.com/2020/06/spacex-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-capitalism. LHP PS AND not challenge them in favor of space exploration for the benefit of all. Don’t be fooled – capitalism doesn’t end at the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere-the ideal privatization of space is the expansion into cosmic capitalism – Marx et al. 2:Marx, Paris, et al. "Yes to Space Exploration. No to Space Capitalism." Jacobin, 6 Aug. 2020, https://jacobinmag.com/2020/06/spacex-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-capitalism. LHP PS AND , not extended into the stars as part of a new colonial project. Part 3 – Fidelity to TruthThe role of the ballot is fidelity to the truth – dedication to a shared horizon is liberatory - Dean 19:Dean, Jodi. Comrade: An essay on political belonging. Verso, 2019. LHP BT + LHP PS AND that comrade relations produce. It concentrates comradeship even as comradeship exceeds it. Fighting capitalist realism requires the comrade – Dean 2:Dean, Jodi. "Capitalism is the End of the World." https://mediationsjournal.org/articles/end-of-world LHP PS AND even if we could, without comrades there’s not a world to win. | 2/21/22 |
JF22 - Space Communism - ACTournament: Harvard | Round: 4 | Opponent: Lexington AM | Judge: Phoenix Pittman 1acPart 1 – The Future of CapitalismSpace and asteroid mining opens up the possibility of a utopian world of luxury in which scarcity and capitalist exploitation no longer exists, but capitalists manually create scarcity through rationing by claiming space to keep their power – BASTANI 19Bastani, A. (2019). Fully automated luxury communism. Verso Books. AND on Earth while maintaining price stability and guaranteeing huge profits for mining companies. Thus, I affirm the resolution, resolved: The appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust.We are on the brink of a post-scarcity world for the rich, where they will no longer need us for their luxuries. If dictated by the capitalist regime through private appropriation, a post-scarcity world would mean the extermination of the working-class, FRASE 16Frase, P. (2016). Four futures: Life after capitalism. Verso books LHP HL + LHP AB AND to wall off the rich from what are deemed to be surplus populations. Part 2 – Apocalypse NowTechnology and infinite supply will either save the collective or kill it. Only FALC can solve international crises through utilizing space’s abundant resources to support the Earth, not destroy it, BASTANI 4Bastani, A. (2019). Fully automated luxury communism. Verso Books. AND . The binding decisions on all of us that we collectively choose to make Capitalism is a death cult and the apocalypse is already happening. Without an unshakable commitment to the total and complete rejection of the fetishization of capitalist value, we will all die like the dinosaurs, Allinson 21Allinson, J. (2021). The tragedy of the worker: towards the proletarocene. Verso Books. pg 8-17 AND of ‘adaptation’ has become the ideology of capitalism’s triumph over all life. With the abundance of outer space and new technologies, it is possible achieve a new communism characterized by international luxury. Only a communist, populous politics that deviates from traditional capitalist usage of technology and resources can solve capitalism while ensuring green living. BASTANI 3,Bastani, A. (2019). Fully automated luxury communism. Verso Books. AND and the state, won’t rest in ensuring FALC never comes to pass. Part 3 – Luxury PopulismThe role of the ballot is fidelity to the truth – unified dedication to a shared horizon is liberatory – the affirmative’s horizon is FALC, Dean 19:Dean, Jodi. Comrade: An essay on political belonging. Verso, 2019.

ND - AC - PettitTournament: Tradition | Round: 1 | Opponent: American Heritage SS | Judge: Dhruvi Mirani FrameworkFreedom is a primary ethical good –1~ In setting an end, every agent must recognize freedom as a necessary good, Gewirth 84 ~bracketed for grammar and gendered language~~Alan Gewirth, () "The Ontological Basis of Natural Law: A Critique and an Alternative" American Journal Of Jurisprudence: Vol. 29: Iss. 1 Article 5, 1984, https://scholarship.law.nd.edu/ajj/vol29/iss1/5/, DOA:9-10-2018 WWBW Recut LHP AV~ AND consistency with the material consideration of the generic features and rights of action. 2~ The exercise of practical rationality requires that one regards practical rationality as intrinsically good – that justifies a right to freedom.Wood 07 ~Allen W. Wood, (Stanford University, California) "Kantian Ethics" Cambridge University Press, 2007, https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/kantian-ethics/769B8CD9FCC74DB6870189AE1645FAC8, DOA:8-12-2020 WWBW~ AND is an end in itself whether the person is morally good or bad. There are two models of freedom—the non-interference model and the non-domination model. The non-interference model holds that a person’s freedom is violated if they are actually interfered with, while the non-domination model holds that a person’s freedom is violated if someone has the capacity to arbitrarily interfere in their life. Only the non-domination model can ground legitimate state interference and cohere with intuitions about freedom. Pettit 12:Philip Pettit, "Legitimacy and Justice in Republican Perspective" Current Legal Problems, 2012 RE Recut LHP AV AND , I turn to a consideration of this challenge in the final section. Thus, the standard is consistency with freedom as non-domination, defined as establishing institutional constraints that eliminate the capacity for arbitrary interference.Impact calc – power can be exercised non-arbitrarily insofar as those interfered with have control over domination, Pettit 06:Pettit P. Freedom in the market. Politics, Philosophy and Economics. 2006;5(2):131-149. doi:10.1177/1470594X06064218 LHP AV Accessed 7/4/21 AND , but under the republican approach it will not take such freedom away. Prefer –1~ Oppression – Domination as a condition takes away a person’s status as human – categorical dehumanization is created by communal recognition of domination. Pettit 05PETTIT, PHILIP. "THE DOMINATION COMPLAINT." Nomos, vol. 46, 2005, pp. 87–117. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/24220143. Accessed 19 Aug. 2020. AND that cower at their masters' feet or snuggle that up their mistress’s skirt. ContentionAbsent a right to strike, workers are dominated –1~ Structural Domination – a labor market structurally requires exploitation and domination – workers need an alternative, Gourevitch 16:Gourevitch, A.. "Quitting Work but Not the Job: Liberty and the Right to Strike." Perspectives on Politics 14 (2016): 307 - 323. LHP AV Accessed 7/4/21 AND refuse to believe that they can overcome their exploitation through purely individual efforts. 2~ Workplace Domination – authority within the workplace arbitrarily resides in the hands of employers, which alienates and dominates workers, Gourevitch 16:Gourevitch, A.. "Quitting Work but Not the Job: Liberty and the Right to Strike." Perspectives on Politics 14 (2016): 307 - 323. LHP AV Accessed 7/4/21 AND labor legislation) or that she owes obligations of deference to the employer. Thus, the plan: A just government ought to recognize an unconditional right of workers to strike. Gourevitch 16:Gourevitch, A.. "Quitting Work but Not the Job: Liberty and the Right to Strike." Perspectives on Politics 14 (2016): 307 - 323. LHP AV Accessed 7/4/21 AND jobs from which they have withdrawn performance belong to them, they maintain. Current legal norms effectively eliminate a right to strike – the aff’s philosophical defense grounds an unconditional right to strike that’s distinct from the traditional voluntarist version, Gourevitch 16:Gourevitch, A.. "Quitting Work but Not the Job: Liberty and the Right to Strike." Perspectives on Politics 14 (2016): 307 - 323. LHP AV Accessed 7/4/21 AND commodification of ‘labor-power’ subjects workers to overlapping forms of unfreedom. The plan solves –1~ Power – it reverses power relationships and challenges the structure of economic control itself – that alleviates domination, Gourevitch 16:Gourevitch, A.. "Quitting Work but Not the Job: Liberty and the Right to Strike." Perspectives on Politics 14 (2016): 307 - 323. LHP AV Accessed 7/4/21 AND is why they may not take jobs that striking workers refuse to perform. 2~ Decommodification – strikes challenge the notion of labor as a mere commodity – that empowers workers and resists arbitrary managerial authority, Gourevitch 16:Gourevitch, A.. "Quitting Work but Not the Job: Liberty and the Right to Strike." Perspectives on Politics 14 (2016): 307 - 323. LHP AV Accessed 7/4/21 AND Burns 2011, 47-55; Atleson 1983, 67-96). Counterplans can’t solve – they’re too slow, don’t empower workers, and fail to decommodify labor, Gourevitch 16:Gourevitch, A.. "Quitting Work but Not the Job: Liberty and the Right to Strike." Perspectives on Politics 14 (2016): 307 - 323. LHP AV Accessed 7/4/21 AND labor contract they have alienated rights of control over their minds and bodies. MethodThe aff aligns itself with historical labor movements that challenged industrial capitalism and wage-slavery – that opens up the potentiality for cooperative control over the means of production, Gourevitch 6:Gourevitch, Alex.

LHP AV AND conceptual possibilities for thinking about work and economy that these labor republicans inspire. The role of the ballot is to cultivate civic republican virtues – this empowers students while fostering contestation, democratic pluralism, and mutual recognition – optimist humanism is necessary within education. Theory is coherent under the role of the ballot and operates higher than substance. Substantive constraints are debatable via interpretations of the aff framework, Snir and Eylon 16:Snir I, Eylon Y.
