	5	+The standard is resisting militarism:

	10	+Brinkmanship and producing instability carry several meanings. The American military spends 48 of

	14	+Second, Militarism has inflicted massive suffering and casualties – without immediate action, militarism will lead us into a death spiral that threatens the planet and humanity. That’s try or die CACC 11:

	42	+
	43	+Contention 1 is US militarism:
	44	+
	45	+First:
	46	+
	47	+The American naval doctrine of mastery over the oceans militarizes the seas.

	51	+AND
	52	+, has ensured his continued influence on U.S. Pacific strategy.
	53	+
	54	+The oceans have been militarized by the state to assert nuclear power-this is epistemologically overlooked. Supposed freedom of navigation is destroyed by US military exercises.

	57	+Elsewhere I’ve written about the rise of ocean studies and the ways in which the

	59	+-­powered vessels patrolled the world’s oceans (Davis and Van Dyke 467).
	60	+
	61	+This geopolitical form of militarism is uniquely Anglocentric and epistemologically corrupting-outweighs and is the root cause all other manifestations of militarism

	64	+The geo-imaginary is powerful. It has given us such ideas as Europe

	87	+1AC-Solvency
	88	+
	89	+Contention two is solvency:
	90	+
	91	+First, banning nuclear power solves naval power:
	92	+
	93	+Every submarine and aircraft carrier relies on nuclear power

	95	+Robinson Meyer, associate technology editor @ The Atlantic 10-8-2014, "What It Felt Like to Test the First Submarine Nuclear Reactor," Atlantic, http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/10/what-it-was-like-to-test-the-first-submarine-nuclear-reactor/381195/
	96	+The Nautilus turned 60 last week, and the U.S. Navy celebrated both its anniversary and six decades of a nuclear navy. That nuclear navy now encompasses some 80 ships. All of the navy’s submarines and aircraft carriers are nuclear-powered.

	98	+No shift to diesel submarines

	100	+James Holmes, 9-18-2014, "U.S. Submarines: Run Silent, Run Deep...On Diesel Engines?," National Interest, http://nationalinterest.org/feature/us-submarines-run-silent-run-deepon-diesel-engines-11306?page=3 James Holmes is Professor of Strategy at the Naval War College and coauthor of Red Star over the Pacific.
	101	+Admittedly, the barriers to reentry into conventional submarine warfare would be formidable. For
	102	+AND
	103	+the pushback from guardians of the status quo would be frightful to behold.
	104	+
	105	+Nuclear subs are uniquely what sustain US naval militarism
	106	+Majumbar, writer for National Interest, 15
	107	+Dave Majumbar, writer for National Interest, “Nuclear Submarines: America's New Aircraft Carriers?” Apr 7 2015, National Interest
	108	+A new class of nuclear-powered guided missile submarines could be the key to
	109	+AND
	110	+that submarines might be the best option during high-end combat operations.
	111	+
	112	+Second, legal actions affect culture-civil rights movement proves

	114	+SETH MASKET, OCT 5, 2015, “You Can Change Laws Without Changing Hearts and Minds” http://www.psmag.com/politics-and-law/you-can-change-laws-without-changing-hearts-and-minds
	115	+In the wake of yet another mass shooting, a rather familiar public debate is
	116	+AND
	117	+some of those changes have done the country a great deal of good.
	118	+
	119	+Third, reduction in US power solves militarism globally-
	120	+
	121	+American primacy is the root cause of global fear politics and militarization
	122	+Layne, National Security Chair @ Texas AandM School of Govt, 07
	123	+Christopher, professor, and Robert M. Gates Chair in National Security at the George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas AandM University, American Empire: A Debate, 2007
	124	+The claim that others regard American primacy as benevolent because of U.S.
	125	+AND
	126	+others of its benevolence is limited by the very enormity of its power.
	127	+
	128	+Fourth, discussion of state policy is a useful heuristic for activism
	129	+Zanotti 14 Dr. Laura Zanotti is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Virginia Tech. Her research and teaching include critical political theory as well as international organizations, UN peacekeeping, democratization and the role of NGOs in post-conflict governance.“Governmentality, Ontology, Methodology: Re-thinking Political Agency in the Global World” – Alternatives: Global, Local, Political – vol 38(4):p. 288-304,.

	131	+By questioning substantialist representations of power and subjects, inquiries on the possibilities of
	132	+AND
	133	+position leads not to apathy but to hyper- and pessimistic activism.’’84
