Capitalism K
 A. Link 1. The plan is a single issue campaign which can't destroy capitalism. The victories won by the aff will be lost in successive years by new governments. Just wait ill Jeb Bush gets elected!!!! We can't address the problems of capitalism because they make them quicker than we can fix them. THe only alternative to piece-meal reforms of capitalism is to get rid of the system itself. Capitalism has uprooted and abstracted our resistance. Our survival is at stake. Herod 2004 (James, January, "Getting Free")  2. In today's world order, today's United States federal government, any call to action occurs within the terrain and coordinates of dominant capitalist order. The left succumbs to temptations of progressivism and compromise, unable to break out of the existing political framework. The only way to lay the foundation for a true, radical change is to withdraw from the compulsion to act, to "do nothing" - thus opening the space for a different kind of activity. Zizek 2004 (Iraq: The Borrowed Kettle; p.71-74)  B. Impact mass genocide Internationalist Perspective 2000 ("For Anders, the...mass death and genocide.")  C. The Alternative is to withdraw from the compulsion to act - to refuse participation within the terrain of capitalism in order to hollow it out. In the context of the affirmative this means doing nothing.

The triumph of Socratic reason manifests in our attempt to resolve the chaotic aspects of life and avoid suffering. This requires the construction of an ideal “Real” world toward which our apparent world aspires. Enter the affirmative. In the modern drive toward certainty and security, and in an attempt at renouncing disorder and insecurity, the plan labors to mold and order the world ot make it dupilicate our idealized image of order Paul Saurette, 1996 I Muststrust all Systematizers and Avoid them Neitzsche, Arendt and the Crisis of the Will to Order in International Reltionas Theory, MIllenium Journal of International Studies, Vol. 25, No. 1, 3-6 According to Nietzsche, the philosophical foundation…philosophical principle of modernity

The affirmative will always be able to locate some external threat to world order.International politics are unpredictable. The insecurities cited by the affirmative are not unique; international terrorism is in our neighborhoods and there might just be poison in our children’s Halloween candy. The uncomfortable yet irresistible truth is that uncertainty and risk art part and parcel of human life. Rather than coming to terms with this, the affirmative encourages us to stay glued to the television screen, stocking up on duct tape and water. At issue here is not just life itself but what makes life valuable. We encourage indifference and carelessness in a world inherently characterized by insecurity in an attempt to reclaim joy from the affirmative’s world of paranoid tiptoeing. James Der Derian, 1993, The political Subject of Vioelence, 101-105 One mus begin with Nietzsche’s idea of the will to power…risks and benefits
