Debt Counterplan

text: the united States federal government should cancel all debt currently owed throughout Africa as a means to stop all public health assistance to africa.


debt servicing in africa has caused more violence and death than ever in the history of humanity.
Derrida, director of studies at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, 1994 [jacques, Specters of Marx, p. 84-86]
Debt cancellation the most explosive political action that ruptures neoliberalism.
Caffentzis, Department of Philosophy at Southern Maine Portland, 2002 (George, “Neoliberalism in Africa, Apocalyptic Failures and Business as Usual Practices,” Alternatives: Turkish Journal of International Relations, Vol. 1, No. 3, Fall 2002)
debt cancellation is the most politicizing measure around which status quo movements can rally – our demand can transform resistance to debt into a global grassroots movement against economic exploitation in all its forms

Nietzsche

The affirmative plan engages in the modernist disavowal of tragedy. The Triumph of Socratic reason manifests itself in our attempt to order life and renounce suffering. The plan labors to mold the world to make it fit a perfect world of order in opposition to the real world of violence and death.


Saurette 1996 [paul, prof of political theory at John Hopkins University]
The perfect world envisioned by the affirmative is a pathetic religious utopia free of shit - in a sad attempt at de-shitting the world the affirmative holds annihilating everything perceived to be unacceptable
White 1990 [ Alan, From within Nietzsche’s Labyrinth ]
The end result of the affirmative’s attempt to heal the wound of existence is the life denying Grand March, in which individuals are only valuable insofar as they help the cause
White 1990 [ Alan, From Within Nietzsche’s Labyrinth ]
The affirmative perpetuates the illusion that we exist merely to correct existence through their depiction of the plan as necessary to solve the world - life becomes worth living only because we have an obligation to make it perfect
White 1990 [ Alan, From within Nietzsche’s Labyrinth ]
The shit the affirmative seeks to eradicate is depicted through the alien others that only exist to destroy us - the aff’s desire to create an idealized world necessitate the security imperative which only serve to create a universal fear of liFe: the is the root of all discrimination as we learn to hate, fear, and kill everything other to us
Der derian 1998 [ James, The Value of Security: Hobbes, Marx, Nietzsche, Baudrillard. On Security. ]
The alternative is to do nothing – this act of complete nihilism is the only possible transgressive action - recognizing the our world does not correspond to the purpose or truth presumed by the affirmative. Completing nihilism means accepting our world, as it is and refusing our right to a better one
White 1990 [ Alan, From within Nietzsche’s Labyrinth ]
A complete nihilist is one who has moved beyond nihilism – the aff is still trapped within nihilism, trying endless to do away with the shit the is an inevitable component of life. Only the alternative seeks joy in life, shitty as it is, and accepts it without reservation
White 1990 [ Alan, From Within Nietzsche’s Labyrinth ]
Additionally, the affirmative depiction of the shit in the world through the illustration of the violent other that merely exists to destroy us is the root cause of war.
Nietzsche 1878 [ The Anti-Christ, All Too Human ]

Heidegger

The affirmative embraces technological thought- approaches to crises which rely on managerial approach to the world re-entrench the will to control and power. This forecloses the possibility of thinking otherwise


McWhorter 92 [Ladelle, Prof of Philosophy @ Northeast Missouri State University, Heidegger and the Earth, ed. Ladelle McWhorter 1992, p9-10]
The aff follows this mode of technological rationality- the environment becomes mere standing reserve to exploit for human utility. This logic makes the mass violence and extermination inevitable as even humanity is reduced to only an object of manipulation and control. Vote negative to resist the forced choice of action and remain open to new ways of thinking about being
Beistegui 98 [Miguel de (Bey-stee-gwee), Heidegger and the Political, p 69-71]

Let it Be – Our desire for constant action, desperate measures to seize control of a world patently out of control, is the very trait we must abandon if we are to progress as a people. Thus, we do not present an alternative. Our thought need not be the precursor to action – it itself is action, demystifying the cycle of destruction hidden by the 1AC


McWhorter 92 [Ladelle, Prof of Philosophy @ Northeast Missouri State University, Heidegger and the Earth, ed. Ladelle McWhorter 1992, p9-10]
