Civil Disobedience-Resist Capitalism v1Tournament: Little Rock Classic | Round: 2 | Opponent: Cabot MB | Judge: Mildy Briones It was supposed to be a match made in heaven. Capitalism and democracy… It’s in the classroom, it drives the rapid acceleration of climate change, and is the gasoline that is poured on the culture war fire that envelops micro-political discussions. Democracy and capitalism are intertwined. So I stand resolved that civil disobedience in a democracy is morally justified as a response to unrestrained Capitalism.

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.

Civil Disobedience-Resist Capitalism v2Tournament: JW Patterson Invitational | Round: 1 | Opponent: Cabot MR | Judge: Leah Clark-Villanueva It was supposed to be a match made in heaven. Capitalism and democracy… 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.

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 Despite popular opinion, I think you should be rooted in the topic … Thus, I stand resolved that civil disobedience in a democracy is morally justified as a response to unrestrained Capitalism.

That means politics must begin from the outside in order to effectuate real change. Moody, 1 It is self-defeating to address the problem of super-exploited … | 10/8/21 |
