Communities collapses to contractarianism, the idea that ethics are based on mutual agreements:
1 Performativity - you agree to prep time, speech times, the res, etc - proves debate requires the existence is mutual agreements to function - means responses to my fw presume its true and absent contracts we can’t express communitarian obligations
2 Bindingness - theories cannot be legitimate absent a motivation to follow it - only a theory that we have consented to can take into account our own desires and give us a reason to follow it - otherwise communitarianism would never be considered legitimate
3 Restraint - their theory presumes a contract with others to mutually follow their theory, so we’re a side constraint - if the other is not bound by mutual restraint - then they are not morally bound in the community which makes it impossible
