ND - Domination V1Tournament: Warren Winter Forum | Round: 2 | Opponent: Johnson RM | Judge: Forgor 1AC —- FWCapitalism is a failed and broken system that has produced a laundry list of impacts such as socioeconomic inequality, rampant disease, abject poverty and climate changeFoster '19 (John Bellamy Foster, professor of sociology at the University of Oregon, Capitalism Has Failed – What Next?, Monthly Review, 01 February 2019, https://monthlyreview.org/2019/02/01/capitalism-has-failed-what-next/)-NR ~1~ There is a dichotomy between those who own capital and those who work for capital
~2~ Commodities have 2 types of value —- Use value, which is what human want or need a commodity fills, and exchange value, what we agree a commodity can be exchanged for in relation to another object.
~3~ The process of labor is an asymmetrical relationship between the capitalist, those who own capital, and the workers, those who work under the capitalist.This is because the process of labor adds surplus value to an object ie a pile of wood is worth less than a chair because of the labor that goes into making a chair. This surplus value gets pocketed by the capitalist and the bare minimum is provided too the workers —- this is due to the profit incentive inherent to capitalism.
~4~ This asymmetrical dichotomy justifies the dehumanization of workers —- workers are reduced to numbers with poor wages, conditions, and simply become cogs in the machines —- this process of alienation inherently denies humanity to the workers —- this is intrinsically bad as it justifies racism, and oppression towards those that are considerd less productive —- that's an independent reason to prefer.Thus, the standard is resisting the domination of labor —-Prefer additionally —-A Marxist Analysis of labor is the only way to generate new ideas to escape the military-industrial-academic-cultural complex, and shift pedagogies of debate towards revolutionary ends and challenge global neo-liberalismGiroux 14—(Henry A.

The NC can up layer, restart the round and have time to generate offense that matters.3~ The neg must check interps in cross, the aff speaks in the dark, and an infinite number of bidirectional interps means that I will always violate something, they need to ask me in cross for us to check4~ I get the RVI on any 1NC theory shellA~Time skew – I only have 4 mins to answer the shells – the shell prob takes 20 seconds to read but at least 40 seconds to answer well enough to not auto lose that means I should get the RVI because it's the only way for the aff to have any chance of winningB~ Deterrence – deters people from reading friv theory and encourages a substantive debateUse of legal solutions as a heuristic recodes hegemonic conceptions of agency and articulates power as a contingently created system that can be infiltrated and changed – refusing the law fails to capture any of the dialogic benefits of this methodology.Zanotti 14 Dr. Laura Zanotti, Associate Professor of PoliSci, Virginia Tech.
