SO- 1NC- Cap K v1Tournament: Loyola | Round: 2 | Opponent: Mountain View EN | Judge: Jonah Gentlemen NC1Our thesis is that the collapse of capitalism is inevitable, it is a question of now or later: you should frame your decision through an anti-capitalist lens by centering the valorization of productivity that aff's logic is founded upon.Kuang 20 ~Da Kuang and Changyi Huang are professors at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, College of Marxism in Wuhan 430074, China. A Study of Marx's Thought on the Speed of Capital Accumulation, Presented at the 2020 International Conference on Social Science, Economics and Education Research (SSEER 2020), Atlantic Press: Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research Volume 455, 8-22-21, amrita~ 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.Waitzkin 21 ~Howard Waitzkin is at the Department of Sociology and Health Sciences Center, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, 2021, International Journal of Health Services, DOI: 10.1177/0020731420977711, 8-22-21 amrita~ 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.Gilbert 19 ~Geoff Gilbert is a Professor of Law in the School of Law and Human Rights Centre at the University of Essex. He was Head of Department between 2000-2003 and 2011-13. In 2012, he was appointed a Professorial Visiting Fellow at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. He was Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Refugee Law from 2002-15 and is co-Editor-in-Chief as of September 2019; he also sits on the Advisory Board., "Free trade" is today's imperialism by the 1 percent, 1-13-2019,No Publication,https://www.bilaterals.org/?free-trade-is-today-s-imperialism, 8-21-2021 amrita~ 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.Gilbert 19 ~Geoff Gilbert is a Professor of Law in the School of Law and Human Rights Centre at the University of Essex. He was Head of Department between 2000-2003 and 2011-13. In 2012, he was appointed a Professorial Visiting Fellow at the University of New South Wales in Sydney.

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" answersFoster 18 ~John Bellamy Foster, John Bellamy Foster is a professor of sociology at the University of Oregon and also editor of Monthly Review. He writes about political economy of capitalism and economic crisis, ecology and ecological crisis, and Marxist theory. "Making War on the Planet." Monthly Review. September 1, 2018. https://monthlyreview.org/2018/09/01/making-war-on-the-planet/ recut 8-22-2021 amrita~ Seize the means of production and endorse a centrally planned economy- only the neg can offer an alternative model that sidesteps productivity focused mindsets while allowing for innovation. No perms- view this as a methods debate: they have endorsed free market ideology which was the link level.Nieto 20 ~Nieto, Maxi and Mateo Tomé, Juan. Maxi Nieto is a doctoral candidate at Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche. Juan Mateo Tome is a professor at Complutense University of Madrid (2020). Dynamic Efficiency in a Planned Economy: Innovation and Entrepreneurship Without Markets. 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.

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.
