The perm is a new link—it’s an attempt to supplement the 1ac’s desires

However, the current crisis seems to call for a renewed analysis of this "spiritual" dimension. And, although a necessary first step, it is not sufficient to supplement the first ascetic spirit with another spirit associated with an ambiguous consumer and employee "freedom" and "autonomy." n7

What is, first, necessary is to grasp the exact way "spirits" function in over-determining social behavior and sustaining hegemonic orders, creating the inter-subjective network needed for the reproduction of (capitalist) relations of domination. We need, in other words, to enhance our understanding of the two spirits of capitalism, the spirit of ascetic prohibition and that of commanded enjoyment. Here Lacanian theory can greatly enhance the long, if marginalized, tradition highlighting the importance of the two spirits. For example, drawing on the enjoyment explosion surrounding us in consumer society, Lacanian theorist Todd McGowan has put forward the hypothesis that it marks a significant shift in the structure of the social bond and the organization of the social fabric: n8 the passage from a society of prohibition into a society of commanded enjoyment. n9 While more traditional forms of social organization "required subjects to renounce their private enjoyment in the name of social duty, today the only duty seems to consist in enjoying oneself as much as possible." n10
