1/3

The so-called War on Drugs has not reduced drug trade or use, but dont be nave it is

going exactly as intended. Its true goal is to legitimate invisible violence and arm oil-rich

regimes against indigenous socialist rebellions, creating poverty and solidifying control

over resources via endless racist warfare.

Caribbean Rim and Latin America,http://www.cjournal.info/2014/02/12/drugs-and-guns-

Before I wade into this argument, let me explain that when I speak of the territories

while rooting out what they perceive as threats to US hemispheric policy. Damn, they are

good.

There is certainly a war on, but it is not against inanimate objects called drugs. The

racist war being systematically waged on black and brown communities is rhetorically

justified by drug laws that construct difference as the enemy in the form of militarized

policing, mass incarceration, poverty, and demonization.

The War on Drugs that has been a centerpiece of American foreign and

use drugs than whites are, for all major drugs of abuse except heroin.'

Recent brutal killings are not isolated incidents of racist violence, but an inevitable result

of the neoliberal system criminality like drug prohibition is used as a tool of social

death to render disposability acceptable

The affirmative asks you to envision another world without the War on Drugs.

Envisioning another world situates the 1AC advocacy within the context of a multiplicity

of movements aimed at achieving an end to corporate control of politics and the life-

world this should be the central task that your ballot is oriented towards

Giroux 5

(Henry, McMaster University Communications, The Terror of Neoliberalism: Rethinking

the Significance of Cultural Politics College Literature 32.1, 1-19)

Central to the critique of neoliberalism is the belief

power and the unleashing of unimaginable human suffering.

The affirmative is a new politics of radical witnessing, a willingness to be most politically

engaged when it seems least likely to have an effect it is easy to individualize our

struggles, but much harder to create a willingness to come together in the service of alarger goal

The worldwide response to what is happening in Fergusonimmigrants and others have to die before the struggle deepens?

Our militant hope articulates a different world that is possible, an escape from the

cynicism of politics under the thumb of the military-industrial-academic-complex. The

1AC acknowledges its own short-term futility; but this is why we struggle. We must be

critical, but also abandon cynicism and imagine institutional change that process begins

with our pedagogy here in this debate.

The war drums are beating loudly, and America is once more mobilizing its global war

machine.

a sense that the struggle is not over and demands a broad based social movement in

which the struggle for a new democratic global social order can be constructed.
