GIRIOUX 06 BIOPOWER SOLVENCY CARD

Overview of aff:

Right now, the USFG is incredibly neoliberalist this is seen best within the welfare bureaucracy by the wayincome and labor is linked; the workfare in welfare demands that you must work to get any form of money; and this

cant solve for poverty BECAUSE there will never be enough jobs for everyone. The only reason workfarecontinues this promise is to reinforce capitalisms power, because a billion people aiming to get a million jobslowers expectations and gives the capitalist elites:

We solve this because we challenge this income/labor distinction we straight up give people money without

requiring any labor requirements, inaddition extend Boyer 06, we bring a radical anti-neoliberalist mindset into the

political stage that incrementally solves for neoliberalism, we are the first step.

Our plan has many other advantages our first scenario was Poverty; structural violence within poverty kills 232

million people a year, we solve this because we give straight up money, this allows individuals to not constantly run

into the job market looking for jobs to escape poverty; we let people refuse jobs and choose to be unemployed untilthey want, and end this insistence on work.

Our second scenario is Biopower neoliberalism has led to a new type of biopower where the poor are preemptly

labeled dead , this is best represented in New Orleans, when Katrina hit the rich and middle class were rescued first

because they were the most valued in the calculability of neoliberalism. We break this because as Giroux 06 said,we fight for equality and fight against tyranny of the market place, girouxs analysis is that this extends political

possibilities of the public spheres + [read last line on giroux] + our BIG is that vision of hope and equality

Our third scenario is homosexual liberalism right now the welfare rewards the traditional family, women at home,

man working, children; but a BIG is to be able to give people objective freedom, the freedom to do WHATEVER

they may want to do; the same objective freedom demanded by the queer movement. This solves oppression

because the true reason the establishment right now doesnt want queer freedom is because it subverts a the type ofmasculine characteristics that the establishment extends, courage, patriotism, etc etc; love (a femininecharacteristic), and by helping the queer movement through passing legislation to spread their idea of true freedom,we are able to subvert these masculine ideas championed by the fascist state and free the root cause of all

oppressions.
