The capitalist class owns the factories...fact of life in the U.S.

The alternative is to embrace a Marxist methodology by rejecting the affirmative’s ideological mystification of capitalism’s material base. Only by rejecting this ideology can we lay bare the structural causes of oppression and spark the revolutionary praxis necessary to build a classless society.

A. Interpretation – “economic engagement” means the aff must be an exclusively economic action – it cannot encompass broader forms of engagement
Jakstaite, 10 - Doctoral Candidate Vytautas Magnus University Faculty of Political Sciences and Diplomacy (Lithuania) (Gerda, “CONTAINMENT AND ENGAGEMENT AS MIDDLE-RANGE THEORIES” BALTIC JOURNAL OF LAW and POLITICS VOLUME 3, NUMBER 2 (2010), DOI: 10.2478/v10076-010-0015-7)

The approach to engagement...unconditional economic engagement.

B.  Violation –the incentive and construction of the affirmative's engagement isn't based on economics. It's based on moral duties and obligations.

C.  standards

1.  limits – our interpretation limits the aff to only economic plans; any other interp allows them to give money to any random group in Mexico, which explodes limits
   2. ground – they rob us of off case and case ground by doing other forms of engagement. Our links to disads are based on some form of economic measures.
   3.  topic-specific education – they shift the focus to other issues in Mexico, so we can’t have in-depth education about the economic issues in Mexico.  Topic specific education is the best kind of education b/c it changes from year to year and expands our knowledge as students.

D.  Topicality is a voting issue for fairness and education.
