Topical Education – By manipulating the topic to access their political project they skirt debate about the implementation of policies by the government.

We offer the following ethical framework: you have an a priori ethical obligation to reject the plan if it is inconsistent with a revolutionary ethic against capitalism.
Zizek 2k [Slavoj, Revolution at the Gates, Verso, pp. 6-9]
In February 1917 ….the tsarist reactionaries will win.

Zizek 10,[ Slavoj, “Living in the End Times” pg: x-xi]
The underlying premise …relies on a fantasmatic vision. 

Capitalism is based on a system of beliefs. Breaking the fetishism of capital ethically distances us from capital and breaks the system.

Nancy, however, is deeply suspicious of this understanding of community. On  his account,the move from the individual to the community …This is what philosophy calls  “finitude.”17 

Interrogating the aff’s strategy for political inclusion is a prior question to policy proposals.  Delinking sovereignty from mobility and questioning the ontological suppositions of the plan solve the case better by creating an avenue for true emancipation for protestors
