BUDDHISM

DEMOCRACY ASSISTANCE IS MURDEROUS FOLLY—OVERIDENTIFICATION WITH IDEAOLOGY NATURALIZES HATE AND VIOLENCE.

JONES, ’10 (“Buddhism and Social Action: An Exploration”, Access to Insight, 7 June 2010, Ken Jones, member of the Western Chan Fellowship and the Buddhist Publication Society,  accessed through the Buddhist Publication Society, August 11^th, 2011)

TEXT: RENOUNCE THE 1AC.

ALT SOLVES—THE RENUNCIATION OF WORLDLY DESIRES IS THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE SUFFERING.

SPIRO, ‘70 (Melford E., “Buddhism and Society: A Great Tradition and Its Burmese Vicissitudes”, Chapter 1: Theravada Buddhism—An Anthropological Problem, Pg. 10-11, accessed through Questia, May 25, 2011)

THE RENUNCIATION OF DESIRE FREES US FROM SUFFERING AND ALLOWS US TO ACHIEVE NIRVANA.

WILLIAMS AND TRIBE, ‘00 (Paul and Anthony, “Buddhist Thought: A Complete Introduction to the Indian Tradition”, Chapter 2: Mainstream Buddhism, pg. 47-48, accessed through Questia, June 29, 2011)

ANTHRO:

DEMOCRACY IS ANTHROPOCENTRIC—IT ASSUMES HUMAN INTEREST AS THE MEASURE OF ALL VALUE.

MATHEWS, ‘96 (Freya, “Ecology and Democracy”, pg. 19, accessed through Questia, September 7th, 2011 )

OVERIDENTIFICATION WITH HUMAN AGENCY COMMODIFIES DEMOCRACY AND PUTS HUMANITY ON A PEDESTAL.

ROBERTSON, ’04 (Benjamin J., “On Moral Science: The Problematic Politics of Stuart Kauffman’s Order”, Configurations 12.2, 2004, pg. 287-312, accessed through Project MUSE, http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/configurations/v012/12.2robertson.html)

SPECIESISM IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF RACISM AND THE OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN—YOU DON’T NEED TO JUSTIFY OPPRESSION WHEN YOU CONTROL THE DISCOURSE THAT REDUCES HUMANS TO OBJECTS.

WOLFE, ‘98 (Cary, Associate Professor of English, American Studies, and Cultural Studies at Indiana University, “Review Essay: Old Orders for New—Ecology, Animal Rights and the Poverty of Humanism”, Diacritics, 28.2, 1998, pg. 21-40, accessed through Project MUSE, September 7th, 2011)

Text: Reject the 1AC.

CAPITALISM:

DEMOCRACY ASSISTANCE IS A GUISE FOR IMPERIALISM AND NEO-LIBERAL REFORM.

DIXON, 11 (Marion, Review of African Political Economy, "An Arab Spring", 2011)

"The imperial reach represents....democracy rooted in social and economic justice"

 Aid is used to further the interests of capital—Creates dependency as nations become ‘hooked’ on aid, increases influence over government policy, creates infrastructure necessary for efficient exploitation

Hayter and Watson ’85 (Teresa and Catharine, researcher in the Office of Environmental Affairs @ World Bank,  Aid: Rhetoric and Reality, p. 242-243)

 "Aid is one means of safeguarding... agricultural commodities for consumption in the West."

Capitalism will cause extinction through environmental destruction

Foster, Clark, and York 10 (John Bellamy, Prof of Sociology @ U of Oregon, Brett, assist. prof of sociology @ NCSU, and Richard, assoc. prof of sociology @ U of Oregon, Monthly Review Vol. 62.6 November JF)

Seen in the context of a capitalist society...community, and sustainability are the explicit goals.

War is the safety valve of the capital system – continued expansionism will threaten human surviva.l

Meszaros, 95 (Istvan Meszaros, Hungarian Marxist philosopher and Professor Emeritus at U. Sussex. “Beyond Capital: Toward a Theory of Transition.”  p. 242)

War - or the fighting out of ....comprehensive structures.

Text: Reject the 1AC.

IMAGINATIVE GEOGRAPHIES

Nationality is an interpretive practice that seeks to establish a dominant and unambiguous identity at the expense of difference.

SHAPIRO, '97 (Michael, professor of political science at the University of Hawaii, "Violent Cartographies: Mapping Cultures of War", Chapter 1: Violence in the American Imaginary, pg. 36-37)

The 1AC adopts normative constructions of space that exist within the contemporary geographic imaginary to prioritize ethicopolitical discourses that exclude difference.

SHAPIRO, '97 (Michael, professor of political science at the University of Hawaii, "Violent Cartographies: Mapping Cultures of War", Chapter 1: Violence in the American Imaginary, pg. 15-16)

Geography is inextricably linked to the architecture of enmity.

SHAPIRO, '97 (Michael, professor of political science at the University of Hawaii, "Violent Cartographies: Mapping Cultures of War", Preface, pg. xi)

MAJORITY WORLD FEMINISM

Neg – Invoking images of the US state as democratic obfuscates its history of colonialism in order to preserve that democracy. This prevents alliances transnationally between women

Alexander & Mohanty ’97 (M. Jacqui & Chandra Talpade. Feminist Genealogies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures, 1997. pg. xxx-xxxi)

Criticism focused on the state key--it re inscribes borders, colonialism, surveillance of women's bodies.

Alexander & Mohanty ’97 (M. Jacqui & Chandra Talpade. Feminist Genealogies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures, 1997. pg. xxiii)

Criticism of the State key – otherwise recolonizes with patriarchal imperatives

Alexander & Mohanty ’97 (M. Jacqui & Chandra Talpade. Feminist Genealogies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures, 1997. pg. xxiv-xxv)

Militarization is heterosexualized and racialized

Alexander & Mohanty ’97 (M. Jacqui & Chandra Talpade. Feminist Genealogies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures, 1997. pg. xxv-xxvi)
