Non-human animal suffering is far worse than human suffering. It outweighs both qualitatively and quantitatively. Animals are tortured daily and more of them die every year than there are humans on the earth.

Demands on the state only serve to legitimize the spectacle of democracy while marginalizing their participants. Even if the reforms are successful, the demand’s focus on reform will evaporate the movement without disrupting the smooth functioning of Global Capitalism.

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 a method of debate which makes peace with capitalism and rather uses it as a means of envisioning and constructing a new form of relationships based in full equality.

The 1AC is a hyper-masculine construction of IR as a collection of threats which require political, economic, and military domination.  The demand for hegemony extends to “elimination of all that is foreign.”

The 1ac assembles facts and snippets of empirical reality to create a world requiring hegemonic intervention – your ballot must foreground an investigation into the method and epistemology used to assemble the 1ac before political implications. Acting on a flawed map of reality replicates harms.

I would like to begin with an...systematicity of Western philosophy.

Orientalism produces a thought process that enables colonial domination and dehumanization of anyone deemed as a lesser person.  It is the same discourse that allowed for the genocide of Native Americans and Africans.

The point here is not complicated...cannot afford this many more times.

Their postmodern view of the world encourages a eurocentric and totalizing view of life.  Rather we exist as exilic thinkers that both view the event from within and without.  This has the ability to transform politics.  They only risk more imperialism and death.

Changing the presidential power has no effect on the power of the state. The state constantly shifts and changes to mask its overall domination. Even the most liberal democratic states are just authoritarianism in disguise. The aff does nothing to change the actual power of the state, only post-anarchism can challenge state power.
Newman 10
THE POLITICS OF POSTANARCHISM. Saul Newman Edinburgh University Press 2010. Pg 29-30.

Indeed, one might say that these...project of infinite expansion.

Instead of believing the lie of liberal democracy that changing one aspect of the government actually changes the power of the state, we should take it upon ourselves to educate each other on alternatives to the state. This act of speaking out against the state and denying its power is the first step to make any lasting and legitimate change. This is the precursor to any revolution that has ever occurred because we must bring in the masses to break down the system. 

Thus the alt: We should delegitimize the state in this debate round. 

Deligitmation is an act of speaking out against hierarchies as a way to break them down. We don’t just point out the things wrong with the current system, but actually take away their legitimacy by denying its power over us. This is an active way of breaking down authoritarianism.

Humanitarianism constructs a humanity that is equal to itself, where the space for the appearance of an other is negated. The target of humanitarianism thus becomes depoliticized, their bare lives subject to the administration of other.
Ranciere 98 Jacques, Professor of Philosophy at the European Graduate School Emeritus and Professor of Philosophy Disagreement: Politics and Philosophy Pg  125

Beyond the forms of democratic dispute...and airborne divisions, more rarely, to the other.  

Consensus presents exclusion as something that must be combated but misses the logic of politics.  Consensus presupposes that all parties exists, it wants to mend the social fabric. This destroys the space for an other to appear and re-emerges in violent racism and xenophobia.
Ranciere 98 Jacques, Professor of Philosophy at the European Graduate School Emeritus and Professor of Philosophy Disagreement: Politics and Philosophy Pg 115

Consensus thinking conveniently represents...one-too-many as phobia of the community. 

Consensus lies at the root of new modes of racism and ethnic cleansing. The consensual regime that creates the topography of war and peace relegates this peace to 'here' while violently expelling its violent underbelly to the periphery. Violence lies at the heart of the impetus to put things in their proper place.

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.

The rhetoric of cyber-war is used to control the internet. This state of emergency allows the government full powers to intensify surveillance and action the net. 

Singel 10 (Ryan, August 10th, “Cyberwar Hype Intended to Destroy the Open Internet”. Wired.) 

The biggest threat to the open internet...controlled, surveillance-friendly net.¶ 

The aff’s quest for security is a position of ressentiment fueled by the logic of self-preservation that prevents the affirmation of life. This mode of politics justifies genocidal fascism that labels the contingent as evil. The state is always ready to throw more bodies into the fire, and we are always prepared to applaud.

In confronting and finally overturning...a relationship with the outside world.”

The focus on state power and fantasy builds the paradox within fascism.  The aff proposes the plan to further U.S global power 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 as the lives they save are only consumed later.  This is Deleuze and Guattari in 87.

This brings us back to the paradox of fascism...the other lines pale by comparison.

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.
