+The 1AC is premised on a politics of hope wed to the notion that society is always redeemable, always progressing, but never quite here. This politics of affirming progress-to-come naturalizes anti-black violence. Call for reform is the perfection of slavery – the demand for progress is when the slave accepts its dependence on the master. Only abandoning the aff’s political hope subverts this myth of progress which coheres itself through black suffering. |

+The 1AC is a struggle of junior partners to civil society that operate on top of the gratuitous violence acted upon the black body. |

+Politics that focus on exploitation (i.e. – the satiable demands of civil society’s junior partners) produce a narrative of loss followed by restoration. These are the contingent freedoms that replace the Black void with a positive Human value; within the world and not against it. What is needed is freedom from the human race, the world, Gratuitous Freedom that demand not that the Black be made living again, but to bring the living to death. |

+Civil society is structured on the notion of anti-blackness. Social death is an unavoidable condition of existence for the black body— how we relate to this condition is all that is important. |

+As debaters, we aren’t policymakers or political activists but simply pedagogues in intellectual discussion—the role of the ballot is to vote for the debater that offers the best liberation strategy for black bodies. The act of an unflinching paradigmatic analysis allows us to deny intellectual legitimacy to the compromises that radical elements have made because of an unwillingness to hold moderates feet to the fire predicated on an unflinching paradigmatic analysis. |
