Capitalism Kritik A. Link The Foreign aid that the aff provides serves as a mask for imperialist intentions in Sub-Saharan Africa, dictated by corporate interests, that has rapidly deteriorated the healthcare infrastructure of the region killing any ability for them to solve any of their harms that simply serves as an avenue for American private economic interests to penetrate into the region. TORRANT 02 Torrant 02 (Julie Torrant, Ph.D. Candidate in English at State University of New York at Albany, “Global AIDS and the Imperialist State: The Ends of Bourgeois Moralism”, The Red Critique, May/June 2002, http://www.redcritique.org/MayJune02/globalaidsandtheimperialiststate.htm) Sub-Saharan Africa is the epicenter of capitalistic exploitation which exaggerates all harms isolated in the 1AC.

Impact Capitalist modes of productions make humans expendable and justify every atrocity. As capitalism enters new dimensions, the prospects of genocide and extinction are inevitable if we do not reject these capitalistic fronts. Harman 97 Harman.

The Alternative is to vote negative.
Capitalism is the root cause of all problems and thus only voting negative would allow us to solve the system.

Representations/Bruckner/Guilt Kritik
A. The depictions of catastrophes in the 1AC are not reality - they are sensationalized reports from media sources that objectify the targets of their charity.
Bruckner 1986 (Pascal, Writer Activist, The Tears of the White Man: (as Contempt)
B. The disaster imagery of the 1AC is inevitably corrupted into oversimplified generalizations that relegate Africans to subhuman status – these stereotypes foster institutionalized discrimination that culminates in real violence
Sankore 05, http://www.bond.org.uk/networker/2005/april05/opinion.htm
C. Appealing to guilt absolves us from doing anything that actually changes the world. They present suffering to us, but keep it at arm’s length which numbs us and makes us passive to suffering
Bruckner 1986 (Pascal, Writer Activist, The Tears of the White Man: (as Contempt)
D. The alternative is to vote negative. Our kritik is a prerequisite to discussions of the outcome of the plan. Evaluate our kritik as a gateway issue – before you can decide the question of the efficacy of the plan you must decide the validity of their representations
