Vote negative: Reject the affirmative’s method of democracy assistance.

Absent the alt liberal democracy defaults to quick fix policy approaches which inevitably degrade the conceptual relevance of democracy in favor of establishing global hierarchies of domination. Only when we abandon these empirical outcomes can we critically rethink democracy.

Democracy promotion is now at a  [...] liberal-democracy promotion to date.

First, the links

The affirmative is a fundamental misreading of politics.  The ‘biopolitical state’ does not seek to manage and control populations for the sake of power but for capital.   Only a total distance from the modern state can allow for the destruction of capital. 

Istavan Meszaros, Professor Emeritus, University of Sussex, BEYOND CAPITAL: TOWARDS A THEORY OF TRANSITION, 1995.

The modern  [...] ‘withering away’ of the state.

Further more, the reliance of indentity-based politics is not an accidental instance of ignoring class.  Such politics particularizes the oppressions of capitalism to the point that the universal system is naturalized.  Attaining white, male bourgeoisse privilege becomes the bench-mark of political success, re-entrenching the very foundation of the system

Wendy Brown, Professor & genuis, “Wounded Attachments,” POLITICAL THEORY, August 1993, ASP.

Although this détente between universal and  [...] bound to the explicitly politicized marking.

Next the impacts

From the perspective of structural kritik, there can be no such thing as ‘making things better’— their model of politics all fundamentally exagerate the importance of the formal institution of politics and power, ignoring the ways such a system creates knowledge—only a marxist shift create mass social consciousness will overcome this failure of politics

Text: The United States should affirm and assist “terrorists” in Egypt with the exercise of their rights to freedom of public association, security, political participation, and freedom without obstruction in accordance with the United States’ obligations under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Our first argument is exceptionality.

Political party assistance enables biopolitical exceptionalism saturating the political with governmentalizing violence.

The Universal Declaration solves- it contains none of the ambiguities of democracy assistance-

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, online: http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html, accessed March 4, 2006

Nothing in this Declaration may be  [...] rights and freedoms set forth herein.

Our second argument, the counterplan solves the entirety of the aff by inhibiting sovereign auto-immunity. The Universal Declaration represents a power of sovereignty that is above and beyond the sovereignty of particular nation-states. When these two sovereignties placed next to one another, the auto-immunity of the sovereign nation can be effectively criticized and limited. Democracy assistance does not solve this because it merely imbues state sovereignty.

Jacques Derrida, Directeur d’Etudes at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, 2005, Rogues: Two Essays On Reason, p. 86-88

The expression “democracy to come [...] the autoimmunity of sovereignty in general.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is vastly preferable to democracy assistance from the standpoint of Derrida’s ethics – democracy assistance literally depends upon the power or the ability of the power to silence political dissent. Only the Universal Declaration is TRULY universal, which means only it can be the basis for emancipation and justice. As a bright line on questions of solvency read specific solvency evidence- 100% of the aff cards are written in the context of advocating the counterplan’s action- make them read a single piece of Derridean ev comparable with this specificity.
