      C.Violation: plan only says assistance, not democracy assistance 

      D.Reasons to prefer & vote negative:
      Ground: they can link out of all our Democracy assistance links. There is no reason we couldn’t give economic or development aid to the same organization. We lose all core neg ground
      Topical version: just add democracy in front of assistance; no excuse, should have been in the plan text
      Extra-t: justifies the aff claiming advantages off of development, military or economic assistance. Makes aff a moving target, which guts all predictability and fairness

    • A. THE LINK - Authoritarian analysis.  Their psychoanalytic paradigm traps us in tautology.  As the analyst of our society, the aff positions themselves beyond question—any disagreement is interpreted as “resistance” to the correct diagnosis of the social-analysand.  The relationship between analyst and analyzed remains trap in a cycle of domination masquerading as criticism.
      Brickman ‘3 [Celia (Center for Religion and Psychotherapy of Chicago, PhD in Religion and the Human Sciences at the University of Chicago); Aboriginal Populations in the Mind: Race and Primitivity in Psychoanalysis; Columbia University Press; New York; p. 192-3 nick]
      This adversarial configuration … position of subordination.

      B. Their paradigm of ideological fantasy is premised on a universal and ahistorical vision of the psyche.  The analysts own fantasy of total authority over the psyche arises from a colonial paradigm.  Colonized cultures are mined for a glimpse of the so-called primitive psyche, unfettered by superegoic fantasy.
      Brickman ‘3 [Celia (Center for Religion and Psychotherapy of Chicago, PhD in Religion and the Human Sciences at the University of Chicago); Aboriginal Populations in the Mind: Race and Primitivity in Psychoanalysis; Columbia University Press; New York; p. 118-119 nick]
      But a subjectivity … a subject at all.

      C. THE IMPACT - with the analyst in a position of authority, those being analyzed are treating as raw material.  The affirmative replaces material exploitation with psychic exploitation – turns case.
      Brickman ‘3 [Celia (Center for Religion and Psychotherapy of Chicago, PhD in Religion and the Human Sciences at the University of Chicago); Aboriginal Populations in the Mind: Race and Primitivity in Psychoanalysis; Columbia University Press; New York; p. 201-2 nick]

      D. Our alternative—repudiate their theory of a universal psyche.  Interrogating the authority of the analyst generates a dialogue between different psychic states and techniques aiding our understanding of ideology and exploitation.
