The discursive quest proposed by the aff does nothing more than obscure the logic of capital – it prioritizes identity and representation to class and reifies the dominant structure of social classes.  Their individual pedagogical strategy delinks individuals from underlying modes of production and pushes them toward flashy postmodern inquiries

Their exclusion of structural historicism is not a fluke—they rely on identity politics to ignore class and capitalist exploitation.  They particularize oppressions so that the root system remains unscathed.
