Capitalism makes death inevitable – their claims to the contrary are lies – history is on our side
Internationalist Perspective, 2000 “Capitalism and Genoceide”, Internationalist Perspective, #36, Spring
Do not give into the impulse to prioritize survival over meaningful social change. Capitalism has historically exploited. Ironically it is just the urge to pursue survival in the face of everything decent that puts all life on earth on the brink of extinction.
ALTERNATIVE: Reject the affirmative and withdraw from the ideology of capitalism. The affirmative will amount to nothing more than a facile call to act in a way that reproduces the existing order. There is no roadmap away from capitalism but we must bwing with outright rejection of its more covert manifestations, i.e. the aff. Only sacrificing the strategies for political change most dear to us enables space for thinking and acting differently.
