The country, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has been
criticised for not shouldering its share of the burden of peacekeeping
duties. More recently, however, it has cultivated a higher profile in
international affairs, playing host to six-party talks aimed at resolving a
crisis over the nuclear ambitions of North Korea. The contingent of
95 riot police, including 13 women, spent three months preparing
and passed exams administered by the UN. The Chinese, specially
trained for riots and crowd control, will join a multinational force on the
troubled island, where about 50 people have been killed since
September.

2. Their alternative does nothing to solve for their own
impacts – All that the negative advocates is doing
nothing. They want you to not change the status quo.
This fails because by doing nothing you are not helping
to stop the genocidal impacts that they talk about, you
sit by and let them happen.

A2: Statism
1. No link
a. We don’t support an increase in state power, under the
plan state power remains right where it is currently.
b. We don’t support anything in the status quo beyond our
plan.
c. Its not specific – none of their authors talk about the
creation of a RRF.
2. Their Alternative Fails
a. Weapons are still out there – if the military is gone, all their
gear will be laying around for some militant group to pick
up. This could include nuclear or biological weapons which
risk human extinction.
b. Corporations take control – if the state is gone, there will
be nothing left to check the power of large corporations.
Those will replace the state and be even worse because
they don’t have any responsibility to the people at all.
c. Loses basic service, like postage and police officers –
murderers continue to murder, robbers continue to rob,
and all kinds of bad things happen without the state.
d. Elites backlash – as the state is being torn down, the
people in power will see their control going and backlash
against the movement. This means lots of people will die
and the movement may be destroyed, so they wouldn’t
solve.
e. War will destroy the movement – large-scale wars
empirically lead to the rise of totalitarian states, which will
be more statist than we are now.
f. The state will reappear – there’s no evidence that they will
solve mindsets all over the world which favor a state
system, which means people will just create a new system
of hierarchy to replace the old one, so they solve nothing.
3. Perm – do the plan and [reject the state].
a. It doesn’t link – there’s no contradiction between getting
rid of an instrument of state military power and the state
system itself as well.
b. Perm solves all of the case and critique impacts, which will
outweigh any small link.
c. Perms are necessary to force negatives to prove a unique
link to the affirmative case – without them, the neg would
just have to identify a larger series of harms to aff didn’t
solve to win.

implosive violence
analyze, because it escapes the traditional schema of explosive violence:
40
LC Debate RRF __/__
A violence that follows an inordinate densification of the social, the state of an overregulated system, a
network (of knowledge, information, power) that is overencumbered, and of a hypertrophic control
investing all the interstitial pathways. This violence is unintelligible to us because our whole imaginary has
as its axis the logic of expanding systems. It is indecipherable because undetermined. Perhaps it no longer
even comes from the schema of indeterminacy. Because the aleatory models that have taken over from
classical models of determination and causality are not fundamentally different. They translate the
passage of defined systems of expansion to systems of production and expansion on all levels-in a star or
in a rhizome, it doesn't matter-all the philosophies of the release of energy, of the irradiation of intensities
and of the molecularization of desire go in the same direction, that of a saturation as far as the interstitial
and the infinity of networks. The difference from the molar to the molecular is only a modulation, the last
perhaps, in the fundamental energetic process of expanding systems.
Something else if we move from a millennial phase of the liberation and disconnection of energies to a
phase of implosion, after a kind of maximum radiation (see Bataille's concepts of loss and expenditure in
this sense, and the solar myth of an inexhaustible radiation, on which he founds his sumptuary
anthropology: it is the last explosive and radiating myth of our philosophy, the last fire of artifice of a
fundamentally general economy, but this no longer has any meaning for us), to a phase of the reversion of
the social-gigantic reversion of a field once the point of saturation is reached. The stellar systems also do
they implode according to
not cease to exist once their radiating energy is dissipated:

were frozen: no military, offensive acting-out was possible. Everything culminated in Star Wars, an
impossible scenario: orbital bombs are virtual; they do not explode. The only true bomb explodes - or
implodes - on the spot, by superfusion: Chernobyl, an accidental acting-out. It was the Eastern bloc that
exploded that bomb in its own heart and it was that bomb which, in the form of the first atomic cloud,
crossed the Wall and frontiers without encountering any opposition, inaugurating the fusion between the
two worlds by radioactive infiltration. So the initial explosion of the New World Order will indeed have come
from the East, and the contamination has passed from East to West. After Chernobyl, the Berlin Wall no
longer exists. Symbolically, it is therefore nuclear fusion, after all, which presides over the political,
transpolitical confusion of the blocs. By the suicidal accident of Chernobyl, the former USSR both admits its
impotence, its weakness, and at the same time passes the whole lot over to the West, obliging it to
manage the collapse, to manage a whole world gone bankrupt. That of communism to begin with, but
Up to now, communism had sought out the

weakest link in the capitalist chain. Suddenly, it discovered that it was
the weakest link and, by destroying itself, by cracking up almost
accidentally, it sent the other world hurtling to its doom, forced it to
deny itself as enemy, contaminated its defences, exported its own
economic and political suicide. The captive hell of communism found itself liberated. From
this point on, the barrier separating hell from heaven is liquidated. And in this case, of course, the
liquefaction is general, and hell always submerges heaven.
Solzhenitsyn writes (against Sakharov and his idea of having the two hostile blocs converge so as to unite
their mutual qualities): 'What can come of two societies afflicted with such redhibitory vices when they
come closer together and are transformed by the contact between them? A society twice as immoral.' The
dream of plurality is indeed precisely this: differences are to be exchanged as positive qualities. Whereas
what always wins out in the exchange of differences, in dialogue, is the exchange and addition of negative
qualities. Fusion always turns into confusion - contact into contamination.
We have an example of this today with AIDS and the fatal potentiality threatening every sexual encounter.
But the same goes for computers: maximum interconnectedness brings maximum vulnerability of all
networks (the trend now is towards stand-alone computers; it seems in fact that networks transmit viruses
even faster than information). Genetic confusion runs in this same direction. It is one of the aspects of the
principle of Evil that it always proceeds more quickly than Good.
So Solzhenitsyn, for his part objecting to this immoral confusion, is right and Sakharov wrong. But we have
nothing against vice and immorality. If they have to be increased in the confusion of the two worlds, then
perhaps that is better, all in all, than the austere, puritanical order of deterrence and the balance of terror.
Why not a world society which is entirely corrupt, a single empire
which is the empire of confusion, a New World Disorder which
combines the filterable viruses of communism with the discreet charm
of the rights of man and nature?
