Libertarian Communism

Very strongly agree

Decrease

Libertarian Communism seeks to dismantle hierarchical structures and promote a peaceful, cooperative society. Decreasing military spending aligns with this goal, as it would reduce the emphasis on force and power. The Zapatista movement in Mexico, which has libertarian communist elements, has consistently advocated for demilitarization and a focus on community-based solutions.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Libertarian Communism is fundamentally opposed to the existence of a state and its military apparatus. While this answer does not advocate for an increase in military spending, it still accepts the current level of spending, which goes against the ideology's principles. The Paris Commune of 1871, a historical example of libertarian communism, sought to dismantle the standing army and replace it with a people's militia.

Strongly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

This answer still suggests an increase in military spending, albeit with a focus on reducing the deficit first. Libertarian Communism opposes both the existence of a state and its military apparatus, so this answer is not in line with the ideology. The Free Territory of Ukraine, a historical example of libertarian communism, emphasized the importance of local self-defense units rather than a centralized military force.

Very strongly disagree

Increase

Libertarian Communism advocates for a stateless, classless society where resources are distributed according to need. Increasing military spending goes against this ideology, as it would imply a hierarchical structure and the use of force. Historical examples include the Spanish Revolution of 1936, where libertarian communists opposed the militarization of society.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system would still involve a hierarchical structure and the use of force, which goes against the principles of Libertarian Communism. This ideology seeks to dismantle such structures and promote a peaceful, cooperative society. The Kronstadt rebellion of 1921, led by libertarian communists, called for the abolition of the Red Army and the establishment of a non-hierarchical militia system.
