Framework – the role of the ballot is to question the epistemology of the 1ac prior to the passing of the plan – they do not get to weigh case.

1. Single-issue movements will be co-opted by cap – independent link to the aff.  Meszaros 95

Meszaros, 95   (Istivan, professor emeritus at the University of Sussex,   Beyond Capital, pg. 39-40)
To aggravate the situation, everything is further complicated by the fact that it is
AND
emancipatory movements can successfully make their common cause for the survival of humanity.  

====2. Fiat is illusory – the plan does not actually pass as a result of the aff – the only change you as a judge can effect is the scholarship of the 1ac in this round. ====

====3. Democracy is dead now – elites have control of the government system – rigorous statistical analysis proves. Gilens and Page 14====

The first three columns of table 3 report bivariate results, in which each of
AND
proposals during the Clinton administration to add a prescription drug benefit to Medicare).

This takes out every dialogue good piece of offense they read – the terminal impact to it is reform, which IS STATISTICALLY COOOPTED into something which screws people over – massive link turn to the aff.

Free speech does not exist in a world with capital – increasing it is a corporate ploy to to seize the means of communication – the rich control your speech and censor it which turns case.

Morley 15 (Morley, Daniel ~Contributor, In Defense of Marxism~ "Our Cherished Freedom of Speech Myth." In Defense of Marxism. February 2015)KEN
On February 17th Peter Oborne, one of the UK's most respected journalists, resigned
AND
and subtle form of censorship and control than any clumsy state ever was.

The aff is open season on the poor – the marketplace of ideas privileges dominant economic perspectives that already have disproportionate access to the market – that prevents true free speech and causes oppression.

Brietzke 97 (Paul H. Brietzke ~University School of Law. B.A., Lake Forest College; J.D., University of Wisconsin; Ph.D., University of London. ~. "How and Why the Marketplace of Ideas Fail". Valparaiso Scholar. 1997. http://scholar.valpo.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1846andcontext=vulr)//KEN
Advocates of a broad and absolutist political speech are right: dissenters are protected against
AND
tone of recent "debates" over the crime and health care bills. 

Our critique independently outweighs the case – the aff's legalistic focus can never remedy the structural violence and crises of neolib – we're at a tipping point.

Farbod 15 (Faramarz Farbod ~PhD Candidate @ Rutgers, Prof @ Moravian College~, Monthly Review, http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/2015/farbod020615.html, 6-2)
Global capitalism is the 800-pound gorilla. The twin ecological and economic crises
AND
enhancing natural and social systems will soon reach a point of no return. 

Thus, the alt is to use historical materialism – totalizing analysis of how cap commits material violence onto people, and using the resulting anger to break cap down.

Rupert and Smith 2 (Mark Rupert is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Syracuse University, Hazel Smith is Senior Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace, "Historical Materialism and Globalisation: Essays on Continuity and Change," p. 2-3)
Perhaps ironically, during the last decade when liberal capitalism seemed to have attained a
AND
and perhaps reconstructed historical materialism are as relevant in today's world as ever. 

Alt solves case – it's the only way to create true free speech.

Morley 15 (Morley, Daniel ~Contributor, In Defense of Marxism~ "Our Cherished Freedom of Speech Myth." In Defense of Marxism. February 2015)KEN
It follows that the only way to create a truly free society, one in
AND
that is the demand of those who fight for real freedom of expression!
