The transition to green capitalism embodied in the affirmative is a guise to mask the fundamental antagonisms of infinite accumulation and finite resources

Critique must recognize the dialectical relationship between pedagogy and practice—their method abandons actual political struggle.

We have an a-priori ethical obligation to reject capitalism. There may be some things worse than death, but you will never know because capitalism makes its victims anonymous.

The alternative is to endorse egalitarian terror.

Contemporary politics-as-such has become impotent and evacuated of emancipatory potential. The task is precisely to be less democratic and unleash a ruthless dialectical violence against the totality of global capitalism.

Decisions about energy begin with knowledge production – Policy is generated through frames and paradigms, NOT instrumental analysis of isolated policies.
Vote negative: A vision of energy as a social-ecological project begins with a refusal of the 1AC’s commodification of our common world.

These systems of globalized violence and dispossession threaten an emerging apocalypse that demands challenging short term catastrophe focus – visible violence develops from subterranean structures of inequity and is intimately intertwined with power-knowledge formations
