Contention One: Interpassivity
There is a specter haunting the politics of the 1AC: the specter of capitalism. Despite their proclamations of radical resistance, the affirmative is trading in the politics of Interpassivity, currently exhibited in democracies, where all their frenetic energy serves as an ideological screen to allow the logic of capital to remain unchallenged.

The rhetoric of democracy sets up a false choice between fundamentalism and democracy that ensures the struggle against capitalism will fail.

Alternatives

Alternative text: Reject the affirmative as a means of refusing complicity with capitalism. Rejecting capitalism is key to opening up new alternatives.  Only complete refusal, not piecemeal reform, can prevent otherwise inevitable slavery and extinction.
