Generics- 1NC- comp worlds v1Tournament: Heart of Texas | Round: 6 | Opponent: Strake Jesuit JS | Judge: Jack Quisenberry The role of the ballot is to use comparative worlds1. Advocacy skills - debaters are trained just to question truths or falsities but not to compare different visions of the world. Advocacy skills improve the skills we take outside the round-testing truth doesn't. Key to real world education.2. Reciprocity – There is only one way in which a resolution is true – ie on the development assistance topic there was literally a clause within the UN, US, and EU constitutions in which development assistance OUGHT to have been provided-it was simply the truth – means under a truth testing paradigm one side should win every time – that's key to fairness because debate is predicated on equal access to the ballot – the round shouldn't be over before it starts. | 10/18/21 |

They justify policy AFFs that occur in 40 years to protect labor unions on Mars that avoids every single piece of topic offense.The impact is fairness — an unlimited, unpredictable topic disparately raises the research burden for the negative — treat this is a sufficient win condition because fairness is the logical structure that undergirds all impacts AND controls any benefit to debate. All responses and turns presume fairness is good in asking to be evaluated fairly which concedes competitive incentives exist behind all arguments.That turns case — rigorous research around policy questions makes us better Marxists because we can better convince people to our side BUT giving up a predictable and fair topic cedes dialogue to the fascists. | 12/4/21 |

Science and Society. 84. 42-66. 10.1521/siso.2020.84.1.42. 8-28-2021 amrita~ This is, without a doubt, one of the most characteristic misapprehensions of the critics of communism. The first clarification required here is that economic planning (like social ownership) does not in any way require a single level or instance of decision-making which programs an economy down to the last detail, but rather that the distribution of skills among the numerous areas, levels, and agents (ICs, authorities, businesses, users and consumers, etc.) proves coherent and ensures that the overall decision-making process be organic (Laibman, 2002, 2011; Campbell, 2002; Cockshott and Cottrell, 1993). The planning agency does not make all decisions and need not be omniscient. Economic planning merely constitutes an institutional device that allows the principle of conscious, rational, and democratic control of the global productive process to be operational. As such, the socialist model is the economic basis of self-government in a society in which decisions are made and their implementation conducted by those who are affected, in two fundamental aspects: production (workplace, company, sector, national economy) and territory (locality, region, country). Based on current information and communication technologies, a democratically planned economy would function as a distributed system, simultaneously centralized and decentralized, not unlike the internet. Such a system would permit the management of information flows in real time, articulating knowledge and local decisions within the framework of a general plan. As a centralized system it would benefit from coherence, with access to all resources and the efficiency to mobilize them quickly toward democratically chosen objectives. As a decentralized system, it could articulate initiative and local knowledge (including autonomous relationships among companies to agree on the specific inputs required in each case) as well as independence from systemic failure (that is, burden sharing so that if a certain component fails, others can continue to operate). The need for coherent coordination and strategic vision requires centralization, while the need for detailed information and the promotion of free and local initiative require some degree of decentralization. Decisions would be made at one or another level depending on the nature of the decision in question. Thus, decisions that require broad coordination to achieve an optimal result would have to be sufficiently centralized (to avoid parallel decisions or blind dynamics), while decisions requiring detailed local information and which are free of coordination problems (for example, the variety and specific characteristics of the means of consumption) would necessarily be decentralized. Here decentralization adopts a non-commercial form, because in no case would there be private control over resources or investment.6We allow for innovation but better—our Marxist dictatorship still provides the incentive for innovating without the profit and productivity based mindset that pushes us to overconsumption and death.

SO- 1NC- T- ReduceTournament: Grapevine | Round: 4 | Opponent: Strake Jesuit JW | Judge: Margaret Strong Interpretation: The affirmative must defend all member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines. The negative may not read plan inclusive counterplans.Violation: The affirmative only defends it for pandemicsReductions must be permanentNew York Supreme Court 3rd Appellate Division Vote neg for limits — there are 164 members , which means their interp justifies reducing any IP protection in any WTO member, creating hundreds of potential AFFs to prep out. This kills negative ground because different countries can have different economic situations that affect the Innovation debate and we lose all disads to global action—we couldn't read dip cap or ptx because they'd just spec out of it. Two impacts:1 — Fairness — an unlimited topic makes neg engagement impossible because there'd be tons of new AFFs to prep out every tournament. Uniquely kills small schools because they'd be unable to keep up with the prep burden2 — Research — the neg loses any incentive to do targeted research when the prep burden is so high so debaters would resort to stale generics and lose topic specific education. That outweighs because we only have 2 months to debate the topic~Insert paradigms~ | 9/11/21 |

A debater under my framework can easily be won without any prep since minimal evidence is required. That pre-req to accessing the activity." As a reason to prefer their framework while also saying "Contesting offense under the Aff framework is a voting issue"Violation: They do both in FW.Clarification — the first argument is a theoretical reason to prefer their framework and the second arg says we can't read offense under their framework - vote neg:Infinite abuse — this means they would always win because there's a theoretical reason for the judge to use their framework and we can't negate under it. This means AFF wins every round essentially turning debate into a coin flip. That outweighs — we lose the incentive to research and develop arguments.Negate for better norms — losing for reading this conjunction of paradigm issues will discourage them in the future. Otherwise there's a risk they'd beat random novices on it, making them want to quit, or just proliferating abuse in general. Setting norms now is better than dropping the arg because they'd have no reason to stop.Comes first — determines our ability to engage in the first place, since it's an indict on theoretical norms in the 1AC this debate is a question of our ability to engage theory, which is more important than random questions of aff or neg flex. | 10/18/21 |
