CAP
Standard links to policy action.

Fear of economic crisis will always be exploited to prevent radical social change.  These fears are not objective, but make sense only if we take for granted the logic of capitalism.

ŽIŽEK, 97 [Slavoi, “MULTICULTURALISM, OR, THE CULTURAL LOGIC OF MULTINATIONAL CAPITALISM,”NEW LEFT REVIEW #224, P.45-47]

Today, financial crisis...Y effectively ensues.

A continuation of current capitalist ethics allows extermination through future nuclear wars, genocides, starvation, and environmental destruction—put away your transition wars arguments because they are going on now and murder by capitalism is much worse. 

International Perspectives 2K www.geocities.com/wageslavex/capandgen.html

Mass death, and genocide...frequent recourse to mass murder.

Our alternative is to use the round as the basis for class solidarity. By viewing this debate and proposed policymaking in terms of class struggle we reject the capitalist method of debate as a means of envisioning and constructing a new form of relationships based in full equality.

HEROD 04 (James, Getting Free, Jan., http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Strate/GetFre/index.htm )

It is my time to...live another way.

DELEUZE SECURITY

The Aff’s rhetoric is circular logic that constructs threats and solutions to justify the State’s necessary existence. Its serial failure is necessary to its existence.

CAMPBELL 92 [David, Prof of Int’t Pol., Writing Security:  United States Foreign Policy and the Politics of Identity, p 11-12]

The importance of...eight, and nine argue.

The magnetic pull of their advocacy only occurs due to a disavowal of tragedy; inevitable suffering is seen only as a result of imperfections of our world, requiring the construction of an ideal world towards which we aspire, which negates life via ressentiment.

SAURETTE 96 [Paul, 1996 “I mistrust all Systematizers and Avoid Them: Nietzsche, Arendt and the Crisis of the Will to Order in International Relations Theory.” Millenium Journal of International Studies. Vol. 25, number 1. pp. 3-6]

The Philosophical Foundation...of its interpretation.

Fascism is not exclusive to the sovereign. The most dangerous forms of fascism are the microfascisms that reside inside us and are dictated by the paranoiac impulses of security that we gain from debate.

DELEUZE & GUATTARI 80  (Gilles and Felix; Profs of Phil; A Thousand Plateaus; p. 214-215)

Doubtless, Fascism invented...molecules both personal and collective.

The focus on state power and fantasy builds the paradox within fascism.  The aff proposes the plan to further U.S global fascism in order to solve the world’s ills and within this promise there exists the suicidal form of this politics which desires the repression of the same people they want to protect.  This molar politics plays to the Nazi doctrine that brought “wedding bells and death”.  The aim is a suicidal state where the people desire death.  This outweighs all of their other impacts.  This is Deleuze and Guattari in 87.

Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari.  They fucked your gender-neutral parent.  Is that a good enough qualification?  “A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia Volume 2.  ISBN: 08166140241987.  University of Minnesota Press.  Pg 230-231 – M.E. 

This brings us back...lines pale by comparison.

In this framework, even peace transforms into a perpetual war. They’ll tell you they are constantly attempting to usher in the Pax Americana, but the only real solution within their framework is to make a desert and call it peace. 

Alliez and Negri 03 (Peace and War, Theory, Culture & Society 2003 (SAGE, London, Thousand Oaks and New Delhi), Vol. 20(2): 109–118)

In an age of...perpetual world war.

Subsumes the aff impacts: ressentiment holds all of life in contempt, making it something to take revenge on.

DELEUZE 83 [GILLES, “NIETZSCHE AND PHILOSOPHY”, EVIDENCE UNDER ERASURE AWSARE]

As a result...symbolic in principle.

Our Alternative is to vote neg to reject the affirmative structure of securitized subjectivity.
They stand for the constant elimination of the faults, tragedy and contingency of the world through the plan, which will ceaselessly erupt as the uncontrollable forces of life ruin the fantasies of ceaseless order. We simply reject to lay ourselves open to these “evils”, and to acknowledge their eternal nature because we know they can never be eliminated. There is no extinction on the nearby horizon and it is used as an impetus to legitimate the fascistic order which currently exists. We’re calling their bluff.

The spatial changes...of dangerous being.
