Civil Disobedience-Resist Capitalism v1Tournament: Little Rock Classic | Round: 1 | Opponent: Cabot TB | Judge: Richard Liu 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. Today’s value is human life OVER profits. 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. Clark, 12 What lies at the heart of this insanity? It is this: Commanding an implacable and … Discussions of class struggles must come first – any other issue can’t address root cause of violence. Dickens and Ormrod, 7 Marxist theories are generally found wanting in the era of the new social … Capitalism’s exploitation of labor and resources will inevitably collapse modern civilization—radical redistribution of resources is necessary to avert extinction. Ahmed, 14 A new study partly-sponsored by Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center has highlighted the prospect that global industrial … Thus, we endorse civil disobedience through the affirmation of the Communist Hypothesis. Every ethical decision – up to the ballot itself – should be infused with all of the significance of humanity’s destiny. The question regarding the aff is “does it confirm or contradict the communist hypothesis.” If we win the uniqueness question, you should reject alternatives because they reduce life to a barbaric ratrace and stand opposed to universal emancipation. Badiou, 8 I would like to situate the Sarkozy episode, which is not an impressive page … Activism gets coopted by institutions—it gets used as a means of appeasing counter-hegemonic politics while entrenching hierarchies—institutional avenues are doomed to lead to broader change; that makes the aff a pre requisite to political change. Baldry et al 15 Co-option, Neutralization, and Absorption Social movement literature has long recognized the … | 9/29/21 |
Civil Disobedience-Resist Capitalism v2Tournament: Bentonville Tigers Eye | Round: 2 | Opponent: Cabot CT | Judge: Kaitlin Potts Democracy and Capitalism are fatally intertwined; Capitalism continues to thrive at the expense of democratic ideas. Left unchecked, capitalism will continue to rupture democracies globally; corporate elites, lack of free and fair elections, and runaway climate change all point to democracies dying at the hands of Capitalism. Reich, 9 It was supposed to be a match made in heaven. Capitalism and democracy… Companies like Pearson and McGraw-Hill have pushed to monetization of education, Green Capitalism operates to blame the consumer when it is corporations that drive rapid acceleration of climate change, and class war is the gasoline on the culture war fire that envelops micro-political discussions. Democracy and capitalism are intertwined. Thus, I stand resolved that civil disobedience in a democracy is morally justified as a response to unrestrained Capitalism. Today’s value is human life OVER profits. Today’s Value Criterion is subject formation. Debate is a space where we learn arguments that will shape how we view the world. ALL we take away is knowledge from this round so the VC in today’s debate HAS to be about what we learn and HOW it shapes us. 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.

Badiou, 8 I would like to situate the Sarkozy episode, which is not an impressive page … Appealing to the system for an end to exploitation is like having a fox guard a hen house – laws will be circumvented and used to maintain the legitimacy of the system. 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 … | 10/2/21 |
Civil Disobedience-Resist Capitalism v3Tournament: JW Patterson Invitational | Round: 1 | Opponent: Cabot VR | Judge: Jennifer Stall 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. We think an appropriate response is to NOT conform to expected norms of debate as a way of being civilly disobedient WITHIN the activity. 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.

NovDec - Destituent Power v1Tournament: The Glenbrooks | Round: 2 | Opponent: Peninsula AJ | Judge: John Sims Johnson, who grew up in Missouri, tells us that he … Debate is no different; it has become over coded with Racial Capitalism. Entry fees for national tournaments continually rise while excluding predominantly black and brown programs, debate camps are pricing out students’ ability to attend which affects non-whites more, and hired judges/assistant coaches are continuously underpaid and overworked, of course they over represented by racialized minorities. 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 … Today’s value is human life OVER racialized profits. Today’s Value Criterion is subject formation. Debate is a space where we learn arguments that will shape how we view the world. ALL we take away is knowledge from this round so the VC in today’s debate HAS to be about what we learn and HOW it shapes us. Prioritize the racializing violence of racial capitalism over the spectacle of extinction - the universal humanity presumed by util calculus mystifies the bifurcation of life worlds and the devaluation that is the condition of possibility for extinction in the first place. Farman, 20 This is the logic of terminality: A threat is looming over … Thus, we affirm destituent power; destituent power is necessary to disrupt status quo formations of power and legal order. Our affirmation is one of a "positive no" that is creative in nature, opening up space for new social and environmental relations that fundamentally challenge the basis of subjectification. This form of civil disobedience is essential to disrupt "business as usual" and the capitalism cooption of democratic processes. Macro-economic and macro-political agents merely exist because individuals consent to their hegemony. Bougsty-Marshall 16 Thus, to weave the necessary federated and transversal links … The Role of the Ballot is to de-platform fascism. The marketplace of ideas ends at the threat of fascism because fascism unchecked is fascism enabled. Normative models of debate facilitate the mainstreaming of fascism – the asymmetrical presumption of free speech for the white normative speaking subject while poor, racialized, and gendered speech is rendered unintelligible and subject to the policing operations of the state as left extremism becomes the justification for the platforming of fascists. Bray, 17 | 11/20/21 |
