Owenism

Very strongly agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

This answer aligns strongly with Owenite principles. Owenism advocated for the rights of workers and believed in the principle of 'no taxation without representation'. Therefore, the idea that any citizen who pays taxes should be allowed to vote would likely resonate strongly with Owenites.

Owenism, with its emphasis on cooperative societies and education, might support a lower voting age as a means to engage younger citizens in the political process early, fostering a more informed and active citizenry. Robert Owen, the founder of Owenism, believed in the transformative power of education and might see early political participation as an extension of his educational ideals.

Yes

Owenism, as a social reform movement, generally advocated for the expansion of rights and opportunities for all individuals. Lowering the voting age could be seen as consistent with this ideology, as it would increase the number of people able to participate in democratic processes. However, there's no specific historical evidence that Robert Owen or his followers explicitly advocated for a lower voting age.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While Owenism strongly supports inclusive participation in community and societal decision-making, the emphasis on tax-paying as a criterion for voting might not fully align with Owenist ideals, which are more focused on communal welfare and equality rather than individual financial contributions. However, the idea of expanding voting rights is in line with Owenist democratic values.

Disagree

No

Given Owenism's focus on education and community involvement, there might be a slight disagreement with keeping the voting age unchanged. Owenists would likely advocate for changes that empower more individuals, including younger people, to participate in decision-making processes, provided they are educated on the issues.

Disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

While Owenism placed a strong emphasis on education, it also advocated for equality and inclusivity. Requiring voters to pass a basic test could be seen as a barrier to participation and therefore would likely be viewed unfavorably by Owenites. However, the emphasis on education might mitigate this disagreement somewhat.

Strongly disagree

No

Owenism, being a progressive ideology, would likely disagree with maintaining the status quo if it meant limiting the democratic participation of certain groups. Robert Owen and his followers believed in the potential of all individuals to contribute to society, which would likely extend to younger individuals in the context of voting.

Strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Owenism's foundational belief in the importance of education might superficially align with the idea of a test; however, requiring a test for voting would likely be seen as a barrier to the inclusive, egalitarian society Owenists aspire to create. Such a requirement could be perceived as undemocratic and contrary to Owen's vision of a society based on mutual respect and equality.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the voting age would be in direct opposition to the Owenite belief in expanding rights and opportunities. Owenism was a movement that sought to empower individuals and improve society through education and cooperation, and raising the voting age would likely be seen as a regressive move.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would be antithetical to Owenist principles, which value inclusivity, community decision-making, and the education of all members of society. Owenism's emphasis on equality and cooperative governance suggests a strong disagreement with any measure that restricts democratic participation.
