Advocating against indefinite detention practices is an act of Hospitality towards the Other- autoimmunism constantly relates us to the Other, but prescribes limits to our interactions. We only relate to the Other insofar as we define ourselves as different from "them" and securitized from the danger "they" create. We refuse these notions and begin our advocacy with Hospitality- a way of radically reorienting our relationship to the Other. Hospitality requires breaking open those limitations and accepting the complete unknowability to a future we shouldn’t try to control, while accepting the possibility for destruction.

The United States is in an autoimmune crisis, brought about by its response to the war on terror.  The increase in indefinite detention of citizens, permanent residents, and foreigners marks another step towards becoming the so-called "Other" we are furiously and constantly securitizing against.

Deconstruction is the affirmation of the impossible – embracing the idea that that which is bad can be made good. Even when this possibility is elusive, we must continually reach for it.
Caputo 7 John D. Caputo, "What Would Jesus Deconstruct," 2007, Print, p. 76-77
All along, whether we have been talking about justice or the gift, forgiveness or hospitality, the topic will have been love. Derrida once said, "Deconstruction … is not negative, even though it has often been interpreted as such despite all sorts of warnings. For me, it always accompanies an affirmative exigency, I would even say that it never proceeds without love." Deconstruction does not take a single step without love; it always follows "in the steps" of love, following love’s call. What does it love? The impossible, the undeconstructible, what is coming, the event. Deconstruction is affirmation, the affirmation of the impossible, of the coming of the event. That is what I called in the preceding chapter the "real beyond the real," the hyper-real, which participated in the structure of the step/not beyond. Every time a "deconsructive critique" is undertaken, every time something is criticized as a fiction or an unjustifiable assumption, such critiques "are always advanced in the name of the real," of the irreducible reality of the real, not of the real as the objective, present, perceptible or intelligible thing (res), but of the real as the coming or the event of the other." But what, then, is the "real"? "The real is this non-negative im-possible, this im-possible coming or invention of the event whose though is not an onto-phenomenology. It is a tough of the event (singularity of the other, in its unanticipatable coming, hic et nuc)." That is a particularly Parisian way of putting the following perfectly clear point. The "real" is precisely what eludes or withdraws from us whenever we think we have gotten it in our grips, whenever we imagine we see it (phenomenology) or can claim "there it is" (ontology) or think we can anticipate it (hermeneutic for-structures). It is the element, the event, in experience that makes experience possible – because when we run into what is real, something is really happening – precisely by never being the thing that slips away, the secret that will not yield to our advances or embrace, like an elusive lover whose play only deepens our desire. The real is what we are trying to make come true, even while it resists our comprehension, our
Deconstruction is necessary for a new international that strikes a balance between pure unity and pure multiplicity, one in which history is not predetermined and guided by the need for the United States to securitize, but rather is radically open to the possibility of change.

ADDITIONALLY _ Normalized and invisible forms of violence are easily ignored as we demand a revolution or end of the world- it glosses over the experience of people that fall outside their one-size-fits-all approach to identity, such as black political elites or people of color protesting indefinite detention. The K requires that acts of discrimination that cannot be perfectly understood as stemming from anti-blackness remain invisible to claim solvency. SH ev from the 1AC indicates that their denial not only makes it impossible to completely explain the discrimination inherent in the SQ but also makes genocide, war, and the "last and final catastrophe" inevitable.

Alt fails –Their pessimism just results in complicity in oppression. They are just the opposite site of the coin from people who say that hegemonic state action is always necessary and that the government should control everything. This represents a pure unity. The perm is a form of agonism, recognizing the problems with the institution, and embracing that we can never completely overcome those problems, but should constantly work towards making things better.

Even if they claim not to abandon the state in it’s totality – this is NOT the same as engaging the state in the debate space. DERRIDA both contends that institutional engagement is crucial to changing the institutions and to spurring the most productive forms of resistance. And STRAUME indicates that our act of imagination of a good governmental action allows us to change our own views of the world. Imagining a plan in which the autoimmune government can perform an act of hospitality creates a moment of aporia. This cannot be accomplished without discussing indefinite detention. This unique agonism created by challenging the institutions that create discrimination provides the best mechanism for addressing violence.

Pessimism is counter-productive – We should investigate the ways we can begin to eradicate black social death through ending the energy apartheid rather than devolving into nihilism.

Embracing an ethic of democracy to come is essential to confront the massive every day instances of violence which support the international system.

Observation 1  is the Class Divide

Class division in the U.S. is growing now enabling capitalism

Leonhardt 05’ "Shadowy Lines That Still Divide" By Janny Scott and David Leonhardt New York Times may 15, 2005
But class is still a powerful force in American life. Over the past three
AND
of opportunity, the differences between them do not add up to class barriers

The volunteer military is the largest example of that

Glater 05 JONATHAN D. GLATER, New York Time "Blue Collars in Olive Drab" May 22, 2005
On a humid November evening in Gulfport, Miss., National Guard members from Tennessee
AND
to support the war in Iraq, however much they may have hated the
prospect of being away from home and serving in a hostile country

Class division is the crux of capitalism

WSM 2006-08-13 The World Socialist Movement (or WSM) consists of people who have organised themselves democratically with one objective: to bring about a complete change in world society. We are made up of companion parties and groups in several countries.
The WSM is a global socialist movement that believes capitalism cannot meet the needs of the majority of us, the workers (or proletariat) of the world, no matter how progressive it might become in the future.To meet these needs we contend that capitalism must be replaced.
Class division¶ Capitalism is the social system which now exists in all countries of
AND
needs will only ever come a poor second to the requirements of profit.

Neoliberalism creates invisible wars on those at the bottom of the class divide and results in ecological collapse.

It’ s a common place that human society can survive and develop only in a

We control the scale of violence – structural violence is necessary to psychologically prime people for macro-level conflict

Conscription overcomes the class divide and trains soldiers for the revolution.

Observation 2 is Solvency

The Military industrial complex draws upon lower social and socioeconomic classes to do their bidding- conscription solves

Segal et al 10 Princeton Brookings Journal vol 20 number 1 spring 2010: "The Military and Transition to Adulthood" (Ryan Kelty Assistant Professor of Sociology, Washington College )Meredith Kleykamp(Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Kansas) David R. Segal(Professor of sociology and director of the Center for Research on Military Organization at the University of Maryland)
Men and women serving in the volunteer military did not come from the underclass of

Conscription breaks down social classes- don’t let their free market mindset scare you

Michael Prowse 2k’  "A reasonable request for all to contribute", Financial Times (London,England)
May 27, 2000, Saturday London Edition 1 pg. 24 (AT)
If we all did a year of national service at the end of formal schooling
AND
to reflect on the preconditions of the liberties that they so rightly cherish.

Conscription reduces mass support for war and discourages the president from entering conflicts.

Horowitz and Levendusky 11 The Journal of Politics, Vol. 73, No. 2, April 2011, Pp. 524–534 Drafting Support for War: Conscription and Mass Support for Warfare

Conscription creates a rallying point for protests that result in greater class consciousness and spark a revolution – Vietnam proves.

This is atrocious. Here the LRP betrays the rich history of the anti-

both a struggle against militarization and conscription and a utilization of it. 

Observation 3 is Framework

METHOD IS THE FOREMOST POLITICAL QUESTION BECAUSE ONE MUST UNDERSTAND EXISTING SOCIAL TOTALITY BEFORE ONE CAN KNOW HOW TO ACT

TUMINO (Prof. English @ Pitt) 2001
~Stephen, "What is Orthodox Marxism and Why it Matters Now More than Ever", Red Critique, p. online wyo-tjc~
Any effective political theory will have to do at least two things: it will
AND
determinism of corporate theory ("knowledge work") that masquerades as social theory.

We have an apriori ethical obligation to reject global capitalism – utilitarian rationale can’t account for the degraded life chances of billions across the globe – capitalism makes its victims anonymous, destroying the ability to find value in life

Zizek and Daly ’4(Slavoj and Glyn, Conversations with Zizek page 18-19)

For Zizek, a confrontation with the obscenities of abundance capitalism also requires a transformation
AND
that, like Zizek’s own thought, exhorts us to risk the impossible.
