Participatory Democracy

Agree

Decrease

Participatory Democracy generally supports the idea of decreasing military spending in favor of investing in social programs, education, and healthcare. This is because the ideology emphasizes the importance of addressing domestic issues and promoting peace. For example, the Porto Alegre Participatory Budgeting process in Brazil, which started in 1989, has consistently prioritized social spending over military spending.

Slightly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While Participatory Democracy does not inherently oppose increasing military spending, it generally prioritizes addressing domestic issues and promoting peace. The idea of increasing military spending only after reducing the deficit may align with some participatory democrats' views on fiscal responsibility, but it still does not address the preference for investing in social programs and public services. Therefore, this answer receives a slightly negative score.
