Framework:

1. Methodology should be considered first. Bad methodology leads to

bad policies. We must question are methodology to see if it is correct
or not before we look at the actions it gives. Ex: In the cold war, The
United States spent millions of dollars to try to make a pen that could
work in space, whereas the Russia used a pencil.
2. Kritik allow for the most inclusive types of debate rounds the
affirmative gets all of his ground, and there is also an entire critique to
argue sets the ground for the debate, this way the negative can too.
3. Finally, Kritik are the only way in which we can begin to challenge
the way we initially think about topics such as the criminal justice
system. This increases our educational system. If we only think in one
mindset then we cant see the possibilities from another standpoint.
4. Core Negative Ground: The K links to this Aff case specifically, and it
is rooted in the topic literature.
Thesis: The criminal Justice System and America in general is a
capitalist society because they create multiple distinctions of classes of
race, and wealth. This is bad because a caste system creates
dehumanization. When the affirmative gets considers using the
Criminal Justice system, he invokes, capitalism.

The conventional wisdom at this point was that Simpson

probably did it, but that he might still get off because he was a
rich and popular celebrity. Race was not often mentioned in this
connection. Indeed, some commentators were of the opinion
that black jurors from South Central Los Angeles would have
difficulty identifying with an affluent Brentwood celebrity who

had been married to a white woman, lived in a white world,

and could afford the best lawyers.
He later goes on to explain this only happens once in a while, however,
it still happens. He also said that: Wealth and brilliant lawyers can
really turn guilt into innocence. The Criminal Justice System is
fundamentally flawed. A wealthy celebrity with amazing lawyers can
get away with murder. By following any form of our Criminal Justice
System, we our supporting capitalist philosophies that if you are rich
and popular in society, you can get away with murder. Before we can

One thing that

study has shown is

that there are conflicting views as to

poverty
can motivate individuals to commit crime or create the
circumstances that serve as a breeding ground for crime,
especially property crime. Several theories have been used in this writing to tie-in to the
the motivations of crime and the influences on criminal behavior. Economic deprivation or

socio-economics of crime. Nevertheless, there are many who are poor but still choose to live a life of high

As such, poverty can not be a

lone explanatory variable for crime. Solutions for reducing
crime rates based on economic causation are clearly fraught
with problems. More social programs, subsidies, government
housing, funded education, or community service programs
only create more dependency on outside help. Politically, such programs
are not widely acceptable because someone has to pay for those programs. Ultimately, if it
were accepted that economic conditions are a causal factor for
crime, then it will invariably get worse, as more people the
population and a higher proportion of the population are in the
lower economic class. All, indications in our society are that
poverty will increase and the proportion of people who make a
significant income will decline. Factors include the immigrating
poor, inflation, taxation policies, jobs going overseas, an
increase in cost of living, and a reduction in consumer
spending. The increase in poverty will no doubt lead to
continued increases in property crimes, theft, and robbery.
moral standards and to adhere to societal norms.

People who are in a lower socio economic status are fundamentally

more likely to commit crimes, giving them a severe disadvantage
before they even start. The capatilist society tries to help the poor, by
giving them community service programs, but as Hall said, they
become more dependent. Capatilism doesnt solve the root problem of
the poor and their likeliness to go to prison

So lets say the advantages are evened out, and poor people and rich
people have the same chance of going to prison, even then, rich
people have a better life style in prison than the average person does.
Matt Clarke, (Writer for Prison legal News, Lawyer, Archer Shut up),
Celebrity Justice: Prison Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, 2012
There are two criminal justice systems in the United States.
One is for people with wealth, fame or influence who can afford
to hire top-notch attorneys and public relations firms, who
make campaign contributions to sheriffs, legislators and other
elected officials, and who enjoy certain privileges due to their
celebrity status or the size of their bank accounts. The other
justice system is for everybody else.
As one example of this dichotomy, for over a decade suburban jails in Southern California have been

These pay-tostay programs, also called self-pay jails, cost wealthy prisoners
between $45 and $175 a day and include such amenities as
iPods, cell phones, computers, private cells and work release
programs. Some even let prisoners (who are referred to as
clients) bring in their own food.
renting upscale cells to affluent people convicted of crimes in Los Angeles County.

Clarke Later writes

Following arrest, poor defendants often have to sit in jail
sometimes for years while their cases wind through the court
system while those with sufficient funds can afford to make
bond. For the very rich, bail can range into the millions of
dollars, which they can easily pay.
Indigent prisoners are represented by overworked and
underfunded public defenders with huge caseloads, or courtappointed attorneys who may or may not be experienced or
competent in criminal cases. Wealthy defendants can hire
private counsel or even a team of lawyers. In the O.J. Simpson
murder prosecution, Simpsons dream team, headed by late
attorney Johnnie Cochran, cost an estimated $3-6 million.
The one place in the criminal justice system where there was at least an appearance of equality among the
economic classes was incarceration. Jail was jail for both the rich and poor. Now even that bastion of equal
treatment has fallen with the rise of pay-to-stay jails for well-off prisoners who can afford them .

It really exemplifies the two-tier nature of the American

criminal justice system, where you have one system of justice
for the poor and politically unconnected and another system of
justice for the wealthy and politically connected, said PLN editor Paul
Wright.
Pay-to-Stay Jails at Hotel Prices

Theoretically there are only two situations that call for

incarceration: a criminal conviction that results in a prison or
jail sentence, or because a defendant awaiting trial is
considered a flight risk or danger to public safety. In the latter
regard, the rich and famous are given the benefit of the doubt
as to their level of risk while the poor are almost always
considered risky. After all, they have fewer resources and thus
less to lose if they jump bail.

Capitalisms expansion requires the subordination of nature to resources to be
exploited, making ecological destruction of massive proportions inevitable.

at University of Oregon, The Ecology of Destruction, Feb 2007,

In the almost five years that have elapsed since the second
earth summit it has become increasingly difficult to separate
the class and imperial war inherent to capitalism from war on
the planet itself. At a time when the United States is battling for
imperial control of the richest oil region on earth, the ecology of the
planet is experiencing rapid deterioration, marked most
dramatically by global warming. Meanwhile, neoliberal
economic restructuring emanating from the new regime of
monopoly-finance capital is not only undermining the economic
welfare of much of humanity, but in some regions is removing
such basic ecological conditions of human existence as access
to clean air, drinkable water, and adequate food. Ecologists
who once warned of the possibility of future apocalypse now
insist that global disaster is on our doorstep. Bill McKibben,
author of The End of Nature, declared in his article The Debate is

Over in the November 17, 2005, issue of Rolling Stone magazine that
we are now entering the Oh Shit era of global warming. At first, he
wrote, there was the I wonder what will happen? era. Then there was
the Can this really be true? era. Now we are in the Oh Shit era. We
now know that it is too late to avert global disaster entirely. All we can
do is limit its scope and intensity. Much of the uncertainty has
to do with the fact that the world...has some trapdoors
mechanisms that dont work in straightforward fashion, but
instead trigger a nasty chain reaction.6 In his book, The Revenge of Gaia, influential
scientist James Lovelock, best known as the originator of the Gaia hypothesis, has issued a grim assessment of the earths prospects based on

capacity of the oceans and forests to absorb carbon dioxide,
raising the global temperature still further. The freeing up and release into the

of partial salvation a massive technical fix: a global program to

deadly that only a handful of the teeming billions now alive will survive.9

Lovelocks fears are not easily dismissed. James Hansen, who did so much to bring the issue of global warming to world attention, has recently
issued his own warning. In an article entitled The Threat to the Planet (New York Review of Books, July 13, 2006), Hansen points out that
animal and plant species are migrating throughout the earth in response to global warmingthough not fast enough in relation to changes in
their environmentsand that alpine species are being pushed off the planet. We are facing, he contends, the possibility of mass extinctions
associated with increasing global temperature comparable to earlier periods in the earths history in which 50 to 90 percent of living species

separates the climate of today from the warmest interglacial periods in the last half million years when the sea level was as much as sixteen
feet higher. Further, increases in temperature this century by around 2.8 C (5 F) under business as usual could lead to a long term rise in sea
level by as much as eighty feet, judging by what happened the last time the earths temperature rose this highthree million years ago. We
have, Hansen says, at most ten yearsnot ten years to decide upon action but ten years to alter fundamentally the trajectory of greenhouse
gas emissionsif we are to prevent such disastrous outcomes from becoming inevitable. One crucial decade, in other words, separates us
from irreversible changes that could produce a very different world. The contradictions of the entire Holocenethe geological epoch in which
human civilization has developedare suddenly being revealed in our time.10 In the Oh shit era, the debate, McKibben says, is over.

There is no longer any doubt that global warming represents a

crisis of earth-shaking proportions. Yet, it is absolutely essential to understand that this is only
one part of what we call the environmental crisis. The global ecological threat as a whole is made up of a large number of interrelated crises
and problems that are confronting us simultaneously. In my 1994 book, The Vulnerable Planet, I started out with a brief litany of some of these,
to which others might now be added:
Overpopulation, destruction of the ozone layer, global warming, extinction of species, loss of genetic
diversity, acid rain, nuclear contamination, tropical deforestation, the elimination of climax forests, wetland destruction, soil erosion,
desertification, floods, famine, the despoliation of lakes, streams, and rivers, the drawing down and contamination of ground water, the
pollution of coastal waters and estuaries, the destruction of coral reefs, oil spills, overfishing, expanding landfills, toxic wastes, the poisonous
effects of insecticides and herbicides, exposure to hazards on the job, urban congestion, and the depletion of nonrenewable resources.11

The point is that not just global warming but many of these
other problems as well can each be seen as constituting a

global ecological crisis. Today every major ecosystem on the

earth is in decline. Issues of environmental justice are
becoming more prominent and pressing everywhere we turn.
Underlying this is the fact that the class/imperial war that
defines capitalism as a world system, and that governs its
system of accumulation, is a juggernaut that knows no limits.
In this deadly conflict the natural world is seen as a mere
instrument of world social domination. Hence, capital by its
very logic imposes what is in effect a scorched earth strategy.
The planetary ecological crisis is increasingly allencompassing, a product of the destructive uncontrollability of
a rapidly globalizing capitalist economy, which knows no law
other than its own drive to exponential expansion.
