Single-issue campaigns like the affirmative are nothing more than masking reforms that sustain the system. The only escape from capitalism is its total destruction, anything less only serves to promote it

Herod, 2006 (James, political activist, Columbia graduate, "Strategies that have failed" http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Strate/GetFre/05.htm)

10. Single-issue campaigns. We cannot destroy capitalism with single-issue campaigns. Yet the great bulk of the energies of radicals is spent on these campaigns. ….
….We cannot afford to aim for anything less. Our very survival is at stake. There is one single-issue campaign I can wholehearted endorse: the total and permanent eradication of capitalism. 

Impact - Capitalism causes extinction from hegemonic imperialism, ecological destruction, and inevitable north-south conflict (for extensions in a world where the aff has yet to provide a better explination for these contradictions presented by the aff its try or die for the negative)

FOSTER 05 
(JOHN, MONTHLY REVIEW, SEPTEMBER, VOL 57, ISS 4 "NAKED IMPERIALISM")

From the longer view offered by a historical-materialist critique of capitalism, the direction that would be taken by U.S. imperialism following the fall of the Soviet Union was never in doubt. Capitalism by its very logic is a globally expansive system. ………………………………. foreshadow what is potentially the most dangerous period in the history of imperialism.  
 

Our alternative is to refuse to participate in capitalism.

HEROD 2004 (James Herod, Getting Free, http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Strate/GetFre/06.htm)
  It is time to try to describe, at first abstractly and later concretely, a strategy for destroying capitalism. This strategy, at its most basic, calls for pulling time, energy, and resources out of capitalist civilization and putting them into building a new civilization. The image then is one of                                              …………………………………………………. If this pressing desire were a desire to live free, to be autonomous, to live in democratically controlled communities, to participate in the self-regulating activities of a mature people, then capitalism could be destroyed. Otherwise we are doomed to perpetual slavery and possibly even to extinction.

Best research shows coming resource crunch – tech efficiency is failing behind more enduring environmental damage

Smith 13 ~Dan, Dan Smith has been the Secretary General of International Alert since 2003. He was previously Director of the International Peace Research Institute in Oslo from 1993 to 2001, and Chair of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting. His many books include successive editions of the Atlas of War and Peace. He advises governments and international organizations on peace-building, including through his membership of the Advisory Group for the UN Peacebuilding Fund which he currently chairs. He was awarded an OBE in 2002, " Resources: the coming crunch and some things that could be done about it", http://www.opendemocracy.net/dan-smith/resources-coming-crunch-and-some-things-that-could-be-done-about-it, 11 January 2013~JCP

Changing times In the twentieth century the long term trend was that natural resources got cheaper, punctuated by occasional increases in the price of oil. And our growing economic well-being was, in essence, predicated on that downward trend in the price of the basics. ……………………………………………………..). So – prices rise, demand rises and production stays concentrated.

The only way to prevent total extinction is to move to a steady state – now is key.

William Ophuls, Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University and Former member of the U.S. Foreign Service. 1992. Ecology and the politics of scarcity revisited.
Throughout most of recorded history, the human race has existed in rough equilibrium with its resource base. Growth occurred, if at all, at an infinitesimal pace; even the population of relatively dynamic Europe grew at much less than 1 a year between AD 600 and 1600. But then, very suddenly, the Industrial Revolution rocketed the scale of economic activity upward……………………………………………………………... It will inevitable involve racking political turmoil and an extraordinary reconstitution of the political paradigm that prevails throughout most of the modern world. 

====Strong executive key the plan trades off====

That we must give our political authorities great powers to regulate many of our daily actions is a profoundly distasteful thought. ……………………………………………………., we must give up the exercise of rights we now enjoy, and bind ourselves to perform public duties in the common interest. The only alternative to this kind of self-coercion is the coercion of nature, or perhaps of an iron regime that will compel our consent to living with less.

Strong executive powers are key to a successful transition to a steady state. Executive authority in foreign affairs spills over into environmental leadership

In 2007, then-Senator Barack Obama wrote, "As the world’s largest producer of greenhouse gases, America has the responsibility to lead."1 As President, he has led. …………………………………… that will be needed to deliver sufficient climate change benefits to avert the environmental and economic crisis that lies ahead if we fail to take more aggressive action.

The alternative is paideia – reject the Affirmative’s attempt to restratin the executive and embrace the steady state. That is the only way to prevent extinction.

Ophuls ’11 - former member of the U.S. Foreign Service and has taught political science at Northwestern University (Ophuls, William. "Plato’s Revenge: Politics in the Age of Ecology." 19 August 2011. P. 129-133)

Politeia  is the means for realizing the ends of therapeia and paideia . Wisdom and virtue do not arise spontaneously in human beings, especially those who reside in complex civiliza- tions, so morality must be institutionalized and inculcated by a polity dedicated to fostering and upholding society ’ s norms and mores……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
if we do not bind ourselves with moral chains, then others will do the job for us (and not necessarily to our advantage). There must be a structure of benign control to teach self-control — in other words, community mores. Locke, who made a strong civil society the linchpin of his political theory, therefore differs only in degree with Plato, Rousseau, and others (such as the psychologist B. F. Skinner) who contend that since social con- ditioning is already pervasive and controls human behavior unconsciously, we must strive to do it more consciously, com- passionately, and responsibly. It also should be said that neither Locke nor Adam Smith would approve of the ends to which their liberal doctrines have been perverted. Both are actually closer in spirit to Rousseau than to contemporary liberals because they envisaged small-hold, independent pro- prietors enjoying strong but limited property rights, not gar- gantuan, globe-straddling corporations exploiting the same rights to dominate both economy and polity.

Congress will successfully avert a government shutdown now, but time is super tight

Fox News, 9-11-2013, "House pulls spending bill amid backlash as government shutdown looms," http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/09/11/house-leaders-pull-temporary-spending-bill-after-conservative-backlash/
House Republican leaders pulled their plan Wednesday to temporarily fund the federal government after rank-and-file party members said it sidestepped "defunding" ObamaCare. The action further narrowed Congress’ time to strike a budget deal before an Oct. 1 government shutdown…………………………………………………………..
 The postponement of a Capitol Hill vote on a military strike on Syria will indeed eliminate the related hearings and classified briefings that slowed work on other pending issues, including immigration reform, the Farm Bill and whether to limit the extent to which the National Security Agency can collect data on Americans in its efforts to thwart terrorism.

The plan would trade off with Congress’s ability to avert the shutdown - GOP has momentum and will, but they need literally every hour to get it done

Around a third of House Republicans, many Tea Party-backed, sent a letter last week calling on Speaker John Boehner to reject any spending bills that include implementation of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. Some Senate Republicans echo their House colleagues in pondering this extreme tactic, which is nothing other than a threat of ………………………. 

 but neither Boehner nor the Republicans at the time were reckless enough to demand cancellation of the entire health care reform enacted a year before.

Global nuclear war

Of course, the report encompasses more than economics and indeed believes the future is likely to be the result of a number of intersecting and interlocking forces. With so many possible permutations of outcomes, each with ample Revisiting the Future opportunity for unintended consequences, there is a growing sense of insecurity. Even so, history may be more instructive than ever. While we continue to believe that the Great Depression is not likely to be repeated, the lessons to be drawn from that period ……………………………………,…Buildup of regional naval capabilities could lead to increased tensions, rivalries, and counterbalancing moves, but it also will create opportunities for multinational cooperation in protecting critical sea lanes. With water also becoming scarcer in Asia and the Middle East, cooperation to manage changing water resources is likely to be increasingly difficult both within and between states in a more dog-eat-dog world.
