1 - T-FWTournament: Holy Cross | Round: 3 | Opponent: Vestavia Hills GJ | Judge: Dominic Henderson The WTO is a trade organization Ought means obligation Member means part of a group Nation means a community with a defined territory and government Reduce means to diminish Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind such as commercial art, designs, and innovations They violate—they don’t defend member nations of the WTO reducing IP protections for medicines. Topicality as a procedural constraint is necessary for effective debate—post-hoc topic changes structurally favor the aff by manipulating the balance of prep which is anchored around the resolution as a stasis point. Not debating the topic allows someone to specialize in one area of the library for 4 years giving them a huge edge over people who switch research focus every 2 months, which means their arguments are presumptively false because they haven’t been subject to well-researched scrutiny. Three impacts - First, fairness – debate is fundamentally a game which requires both sides to have a relatively equal shot at winning and is necessary for any benefit to the activity. That outweighs: A decision-making: every argument concedes to the validity of fairness i.e. that the judge will make a fair decision based on the arguments presented. This means if they win fairness bad vote neg on presumption because you have no obligation to fairly evaluate their arguments. B probability: voting aff can’t solve any of their impacts but it can solve ours. All the ballot does is tell tab who won which can’t stop any violence but can resolve the fairness imbalance in this particular debate. Second is switch side and idea-testing --- only a limited topic that leaves a role for the negative allows contestation and second-order testing that overcomes polarization. Switching sides forces them to scrutinize their own beliefs, which is valuable for developing and defending their own convictions more robustly. Poscher 16 Ralf Poscher, Diat the Institute for Staatswissenschaft and Philosophy of Law at the University of Freiburg “Why We Argue About the Law: An Agonistic Account of Legal Disagreement”, Metaphilosophy of Law, Tomasz Gizbert-Studnicki/Adam Dyrda/Pawel Banas (eds.), Hart Publishing. 2016. Third—small schools disad: under-resourced are most adversely affected by a massive, unpredictable caselist which worsens structural disparities Disads to the TVA prove there’s negative ground and that it’s a contestable stasis point. If their critique is incompatible with the topic reading it on the neg solves and is better because it promotes switch-side debate Winning pessimism doesn’t answer T because only through the process of clash can they refine their defense of it—they need an explanation of why we switch sides and why there’s a winner and loser under their model Reject the team—T is question of models of debate and the damage to our strategy was already done Competing interps—they have to proactively to justify their model and reasonability links to our offense No rvis or impact turns—it’s their burden to prove their topical. Beating back T doesn’t prove their advocacy is good Last, err heavily negative on topicality—lack of pre-round disclosure prevents us from prepping case-specific strategies which is why we had to rely on generics like T and Cap | 9/27/21 |

SO - Cap K v1Tournament: Grapevine | Round: 2 | Opponent: Stephen F Austin VG | Judge: Sam Larson COVID-19 is a symptom of the disease that is late-stage capitalism— it represents the intrinsic contradictions that have arisen within capitalist economies and the inevitable collapse. The affirmative resets the cycle and rejuvenates short-term capitalist accumulation in two ways. First, is false liberalism. The plan is representative of the idea that capitalism can be saved- eliminating “intellectual property protections” is a scheme that aims to boost falling rates of profit and improve rates of capital accumulation. Second is WTO legitimacy. The plan is a colonialist revision that re-packages the WTO as a legitimate organization that can overcome its insidious past towards a future of equal free trade—that decks class consciousness. But capitalism can’t be saved. The short-term rejuvenation simply pushes back the long-term inevitable collapse which dooms us to death by climate change before the revolution can happen—this card is amazing and also preempts all their “cap solves climate change” answers. #amritaisthebest Endorse a dictatorship of the proletariat. Global capitalism’s inequities can only be fully purged once its intrinsic contradictions expose themselves and allow for the collapse of the bourgeoisie state. A dictatorship is required to solidify our transition to communism and is why you should reject any perm that attempts to preserve the state apparatus. | 9/11/21 |

2. Policy workshop DA – Fiat is illusory, no policy will be passed outside this round. Only way to have a productive debate is through good subject formation in ethical manners. Even if they win that fairness is good, we still win that their model of debate is bad. Each link proves that they are complicit in bad subject formation which outweighs fairness. Working under their “debate is a game only” model does not lead to an increase in ethical decisionmakers and instead creates debaters who mindlessly advocate for unethical and misconceived policies that will always retrench status quo impacts through the continued legitimizing of bad policy. 3. Capitalist orientation means we can only view people as commodities – this means that capitalism predetermines intellectual property policy so there’s Ethics DA. If we prove the aff is under an unethical pretense you don’t evaluate it You have an ethical obligation to reject capitalist methodology The WTO is inevitably a tool of accumulation for capitalist imperialism. International institutional monopoly capitalism turns aff – causes war, environmental degradation, and extinction. Three links: Capitalism is the root cause of every impact – climate change, war, structural inequality, and psychological violence Our alternative is to vote negative to refuse to participate in activities which support capitalism. We must hollow out capitalist structures by refusing to invest our energy in reforms and rescue operations | 9/27/21 |
