Question: agonistic account of legal disagreement

And, the role of the ballot is to vote for whoever does the better debating over the resolutional question —this does not limit argumentative styles, but tying those to topical advocacy ensures clash which is the only vehicle for education debate provides

Poscher 16 [Director at the Institute for Staatswissenschaft and Philosophy of Law at the University of Freiburg (Ralf, “Why We Argue About the Law: An Agonistic Account of Legal Disagreement”, Metaphilosophy of Law, Tomasz Gizbert-Studnicki/Adam Dyrda/Pawel Banas (eds.), Hart Publishing)]

Only if reasoning is exposed to contrary arguments can we test its merits . We must go through the “labor of the negative” group polarization can be countered by disagreement opposing positions profit from the negative tarrying with it entering into an exchange can test and improve our position We might not know what we believe until we have developed argument  to discuss with someone who opposes might be the most helpful way of corroborating our adversary is motivated to find a flaw objectives could not be achieved by a non‐argumentative procedure Pure argumentative procedures not geared towards a decision undercut the incentive structure That debates are about winning or losing helps keep the participants engaged If the judges were to flip a coin there would be little incentive  The fulcrum lie in an overlapping common ground of materials , accepted practices two athletes in the same contest  follow the same rules but different styles they are engaged in the same process these allow for disagreements without abandoning talking about the same concept Such a semantic collapses only when we lack sufficient overlap the capitalist system would like citizens not demanding their government redistribute wealth capitalists love to see people turn to each other This is due of anti-state rhetoric The state is not just prisons or the military the right hate the EPA and public education Because they don’t want to educate the working class and clean up industry When the left embraces anarcho-liberal notions of being outside government it cuts itself off from important democratic resources The state should be an arena of class struggle When the left turns its back on social democratic features it risks playing the hand of the right movements should attack government until they comply As we enter climate change, it’s important to be aware of existing legal mechanisms with which we can contain capital it is important to think about bureaucracies that are part of complex systems students are not making demands of the EPA It’s because there’s an anti-state ethos and romanticization of the local this doesn’t recognize how global political economy works . ignoring government is the dominant worldview among the US left the fossil fuel industry is the most powerful force the world has ever seen what could rebuff them? The state We should use government to levy astronomical fines contradictions of the state is an old story anti-statist common sense is a fantasy of empowerment The neoliberal project is anti-statist rhetoric They sell the idea that people need to be liberated We need to restructure the state. capitalism has failed mired in economic stagnation extreme inequality mass unemployment poverty, hunger, and a planetary ecological “death spiral.” fascism is on the march, along with patriarchy, racism, imperialism, and war. Stagnation of investment punctuated by bubbles which inevitably burst , The capture of surplus value is leading to an unprecedented amassing of financial wealth at the center of the world economy In every region of the world, inequality has increased sharply health care, housing, education, and clean water and air are out of reach Overuse of antibiotics is leading to superbugs racially segregated schools are pipelines for prisons or the military. constituting a new Jim Crow Racial divides are now widening across the planet.  Violence against women and expropriation of their labor are integral to capitalist society . Elections are increasingly prey to “dark money” from the billionaire class. War has become perpetual and threatens to escalate into a global thermonuclear exchange Torture and assassinations have been reinstituted A new Cold War and nuclear arms race is in the making racist barriers against immigration continue to be erected poverty across the globe is so severe that one can refer to a “planet of slums.” from climate change to ocean acidification to widespread pollution species exterminations” resulting from climate change are compounding biodiversity loss. half of all species will be facing extinction by the end of the century. the world is close to a Hothouse in which climate change will be locked in and irreversible. corporations continue to intervene in climate negotiations to ensure that any agreements are defanged. threatening the future of humanity. the costs of war, depletion of resources, waste of lives, and disruption of the environment far exceed any benefits that capitalism offers base building and dual power best forwarded through organizing allow this movement to solidify into a revolutionary socialist tendency revolution is not currently possible. dual power responds By building institutions which can meet people’s needs, we offer relief from capitalism. in order to mobilize the base we need to have already done the work of building a communist party.  It is not enough to meet needs. we must build institutions of dual power We must refuse covert front organizing and instead have a public face as a communist party. membership is formally unified around a party line determined by democratic decision making. holding party members accountable , unifying action and for educating They empower communities to theorize through communist theory while organizing to fight for their liberation. formal structures allow individual locals to have a voice in open debate, but also a unified strategy party organizing allows for organizers to be held accountable with unity working together to sharpen strategies and to help correct chauvinist ideas accountability is crucial . imperialist and colonial ideal frequently infect leftist organizing formal procedure allows us to address these organizations ought to adopt recruitment education in communist theory and praxis, and militant party cadres capable of defending institutions from state terror. a unified national party will be the long term goal

Question: Energy transition and green colonialism

The resolution’s move to center market-driven decarbonization and clean energy policy is a commitment to a colonial imaginary that intensifies ecological destruction, resource extraction, and devastates indigenous communities in the Global South. Any energy transition initiated under green colonialism generates sacrifice zones to sustain the Global North’s economic and carbon neutral ambitions.
