The counter ROTJ is to vote for the better debater. The ROTB is whoever best argues for or against the policy implementation of the resolution.
2~ Inclusion – their model debate is great for X, but exclusionairy of everyone else. Regulating debate to focus on one group is inherently exclusionary, focusing on substance and policy solves.
3~ Solves the T-fw shell and its standards.
4~ Topics ed – tying our model of debate to the topic is key to it being good, topic eds key to education, ground, clash, fairness etc.
5~ Arg diversity – their model of debate creates a performative echo chamber where students just repeat prewritten k affs every two months, forgoing substantive clash, policy discussion, and topic ed.
6~ Our model of debate is a prereq to theirs, we can only read kritiks of policies and policy discussion, if it's happening.
7~ Ground – our model of debate includes theirs, but theirs precludes ours, as under policy analysis we can still have things like Ks, and Kritikal affs about the topic, but they never let us discuss policies.

Their brand of feminism reinforces neoliberal individualism reifying those structures which the aff seeks to attack.
The affs single issue social movement collapses on itself and becomes just another site of resistance stuck in the capitalist cycle, only unifying the class behind the proletariat solves.
Zizek 2 ~Slavoj Zizek, "Revolution at the Gates," pg 296-302, 2002~/ lm So the struggle ahead has no guaranteed outcome – it will confront us with an unprecedented need to act, since it will concern not only a new mode of production, but a radical rupture in what it means to be a human being.'85 Today, we can already discern the signs of a kind of general unease – recall the series of protests usually listed under the name "Seattle". The ten-year honeymoon of triumphant global capitalism is over; the long-overdue "seven-year itch" is here – witness the panicky reactions of the mass media, which, from Time magazine to CNN, started all of a sudden to warn us about the Marxists manipulating the crowd of "honest" protesters. The problem now is the strictly Leninist one: how do we actualize the media's accusations? How do we invent the organizational structure which will confer on this unrest the form of the universal political demand? Otherwise, the momentum will be lost, and all that will remain will be marginal disturbances, perhaps organized like a new Greenpeace, with a certain efficiency, but also strictly limited goals, marketing strategy, and so on. In short, without the form of the Party, the movement remains caught in the vicious cycle of "resistance", one of the big catchwords of "postmodern" politics, which likes to oppose "good" resistance to power to a "bad" revolutionary takeover of power – the last thing we want is the domestication of anti-globalization into just another "site of resistance" against capitalism. As a result, the key "Leninist" lesson today is: politics without AND counterpart of the French Revolution): precisely because it lacked a political revolution.
Their brand of politics focusing on the identity of the individual is coopted by capitalism to fragment the working class and quell revolution.
Panitch 18 ~Leo Panitch, York University Canada Research Chair in Comparative Political Economy, From the Streets to the State: Changing The World By Taking Power, pg 26-28~ What accounts for the impasse of the left by the late twentieth century? Over AND and perhaps most important to the democratization of the institutions of the state.
That causes material violence which increases inequality, environmental destruction and causes extinction.
Robinson 18 ~William I, professor of sociology, global studies and Latin American studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara. 2018. "Accumulation Crisis and Global Police State."http://revolutionary-socialism.com/en/accumulation-crisis-and-global-police-state/~~ Each major episode of crisis in the world capitalist system has presented the potential for AND espouse rhetoric of nationalism and protectionism even as they promote neo-liberalism.
The alternative is to Join the Party – reject the affs reorientation of IR and psychoanalysis on focus on building dual power to resist capitalism and materially benefit oppressed peoples. That's revolutionairy –
Escalante 18 ~Alyson, philosophy at U of Oregon, 08/24/2018. "Against Electoralism, For Dual Power!" https://theforgenews.org/2018/08/24/against-electoralism-for-dual-power/~~ lm I am sure that at this point, the opportunists reading this have already begun AND to the soviets" will be heard again. Lets make it happen.
The ROTB is to vote for the debate who best analyzes the resolution through dialectical materialism. Morality emerges not from abstract reason but through class struggle, as the ruling class seeks to justify their power through ideology.
Sewell 5 ~Rob Sewell, In Defense of Marxism, Theory, "What is dialectical materialism," July 8th 2005, https://www.marxist.com/what-is-dialectical-materialism.htm~~#_c3~~/ lm The Marxist view of the world is not only materialist, but also dialectical. AND is more than an outlook, it is a "philosophy of action."
Capitalism has created a pedagogy of exclusion justifying oppressive hierarchies and inequalities that preclude ethical reasoning. That means resisting capitalism is an a-priori obligation for the judge in this round.

Ethics starts with self-actualization, described as the capacity to abstract from one's particular conditions through embodying personality in the world. Thus, the standard is consistency with the principles of mutual recognition.

Haase 18 ~Matthias Haase, Matthias Haase is Assistant Professor of Philosophy. He is a scholar in the research project Virtue, Happiness, and the Meaning of Life led by Candace Vogler and Jennifer Frey. His research is focused on foundational topics at the intersection of ethics and philosophy of mind. A central historical interest is the tradition of German Idealism, especially the aspects that are tied to Aristotle. He has also written on Wittgenstein and Frege. His current research project is devoted to the question whether there are specifically practical species of knowledge, reason and truth—and what this means for the philosophical account of our fundamental concepts of ethics like good, ought, justice as well as action, character and will, Scielo Brazil, "Knowing What I have Done," October-December 2018, https://www.scielo.br/j/man/a/z84BtYdYRgps9VZkyfwzDZy/?lang=en~~/ lm Now, our kitchen scene suggests that the kind of cognitive advance sketched above can AND from Aquinas, knowledge that is "the cause of what it understands".

This pair of problems is my way of spelling out what lies behind AND all are in interpreting particular passages and connecting different Hegelian themes and texts.
3~ Action theory – Every action can be broken down to infinite movements. Only the formation of a subject can unify the movements under a will.
4~ Performativity – debate requires mutual-recognition and self-actualization as the neg and aff recognize each other's roles and personality is expressed in our cases.
5~ Subject formation is a side constraint as we can only have ethical obligations when we are ethical subjects that mutually recognize one another.
6~ Bindingness – You can deny the value of pleasure but you can't deny mutual recognition because it's intrinsic to language and the act of being. Bindingness outweighs since for the res to be true or false it must be binding and obligations presuppose that your binded to them.
