Organizing the economy around innovation creates economics of speed- leads to rapid investment shifting and product development- that’s unsustainable and makes financial collapse inevitable Goldman et al. ‘6 (Robert Goldman, Stephen Papson, Noah Kersey, Landscapes of the Social Relations of Production in a Networked Society, Fast Capitalism 2.1, http://www.uta.edu/huma/agger/fastcapitalism/2_1/SocialRelations.html) The formula for success AND of risk is omnipresent.

Service liberalization like the plan removes barriers to speed and increases the pace of global economic transaction- ensures environmental collapse, resource wars, and extinction Simons ’10 (Petrus, Former Trader and Economist, PhD in Philosophy, Accelerate or Slow Down, Stimulus: The New Zealand Journal of Christian Thought and Practice, Vol. 18 (2010): 32-25) Paul Virilio’s metaphor of AND painfully that speed kills.  

Alternative Text: the judge should vote negative to refuse the economics of speed Prior refusal of the economics of speed is key- fractures its hegemony and opens space for a multitude of economic timescapes- only this re-framing can lead to effective capitalism Hassan ‘5 (ARC Senior Research Fellow, Media and Communications @ Univ. of Melbourne) (Robert, Timescapes of the Network Society, Fast Capitalism 1.1, http://www.uta.edu/huma/agger/fastcapitalism-/1_1/hassan.html) Nonetheless, the truly revolutionary AND haven't yet dreamed of.

You should procrastinate the question of the aff in favor of methodological questions- that means you refuse time frame calculations and prioritize their approach to the topic- that acts as a performative counter-conduct that refuses the colonization of debate by the economics of speed Binkley ‘9 (assistant professor of sociology at Emerson College) (Sam, The Work of Neoliberal Governmentality: Temporality and Ethical Substance in the Tale of Two Dads, Foucault Studies, No 6, pp. 60-78, February 2009) Foucault’s many statements on AND the writing of reports.

FIRST, RACE AND CLASS ARE DIALECTICALLY CONJOINED IN THE REPRODUCTION OF CAPITALIST RELATIONS—CAPITALISM RACIALIZES SUBJECTS TO ENTRENCH COMPETITION AND DESTROY UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS AS WELL AS SUSTAINS WHITE RACISM AS A METHOD OF PAPERING OVER CONTRADICTIONS.  ALL OF THIS IS USED TO MAINTAIN THE SYSTEM OF CAPITAL ACCUMULATION

SECOND, THE REDUCTION OF CLASS TO A NEUTRAL LEVEL AMONG A LONG LIST OF OTHER OPPRESSIONS SUCH AS RACISM DESTROYS THE EMANCIPATORY POTENTIAL OF CLASS TO REACH ACROSS ALL LINES OF INDENTITY AND FORGE POLITICAL ACTION.  CLASS MUST BE RECOGNIZED AS QUALITATIVELY MORE IMPORTANT—OTHERWISE THE SYSTEM IS ABLE TO SATISFY DEMANDS ON GROUNDS OF FORMAL EQUALITY, DESTROYING ATTEMPTS TO OVERCOME CAPITALIST OPPRESSION*

BECAUSE RACISM IS DIALECTICALLY CONJOINED WITH THE EXPLOITATIVE LOGIC OF CAPITALISM, ONLY THE TOTALIZING METHOD OF CLASS POLITICS CAN OFFER THE WAY OUT—Narratives will be coopted and used by capitalism to further exploit oppressed groups.

Vote Negative to validate and adopt the method of structural/historical criticism that is the 1NC.
THIS IS NOT THE ALTERNATIVE, BUT IN TRUTH THE ONLY OPTION— METHOD IS THE FOREMOST POLITICAL QUESTION BECAUSE ONE MUST UNDERSTAND THE EXISTING SOCIAL TOTALITY BEFORE ONE CAN ACT ON IT—GROUNDING THE SITES OF POLITICAL CONTESTATION OR KNOWLEDGE OUTSIDE OF LABOR AND SURPLUS VALUE MERELY SERVE TO HUMANIZE CAPITAL AND PREVENT A TRANSITION TO A SOCIETY BEYOND OPPRESSION

RESISTANCE TO CAPITAL MUST BE A TOTAL NEGATION OF THE SYSTEM FROM OUT-SIDE OF GOVERNMENT—WHILE SOME INSIDE POLITICAL GAINS ARE POSSIBLE, THEY ARE TRUMPED BY THE ABILITY OF THE SYSTEM TO USE REFORMS TO RESTABILIZE CAPITAL AND MARGINALIZE LABOR AS A SOCIAL ALTERNATIVE

SO MUCH FOR YOUR PERMUTATION—CAPITALISM IS AN INERTIAL SYSTEM—ANY VESITAGE LEFT REMAINING BY THE PERMUTATION WILL INEVITABLY SPIN BACK UP.  LIKE A MANY-HEADED HYDRA, IT WILL REGENERATE WITH EVERY ATTEMPT THAT ATTACKS THE INSTRUMENTS AS OPPOSSED TO THE SYSTEM ITSELF*
