Patriotic Socialism

Strongly agree

Increase

Patriotic Socialism emphasizes national pride and self-sufficiency, which often includes a strong military to protect the nation's interests and sovereignty. Historical examples include the Soviet Union and China, which both prioritized military spending to assert their global influence and protect their socialist systems. However, the score is not a full 5 because Patriotic Socialism also values social welfare and may not always prioritize military spending over other needs.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

This answer aligns with Patriotic Socialism's focus on both national defense and fiscal responsibility. A historical example is the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev, who sought to reduce military spending and focus on domestic issues. However, the score is not higher because the ideology might prioritize military spending even in the face of a deficit, depending on the specific circumstances.

Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Patriotic Socialism might be satisfied with the current level of military spending if it is deemed sufficient to protect the nation and its interests. However, this answer does not fully align with the ideology's emphasis on national strength and self-sufficiency, which could lead to a desire for increased military spending.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system could be seen as a loss of national sovereignty and self-sufficiency, which are key tenets of Patriotic Socialism. However, the score is not a full -5 because there may be situations where such a system could be seen as beneficial for the nation's security and international standing, especially if it allows for greater cooperation and resource sharing among socialist countries.

Disagree

Decrease

Decreasing military spending would generally be opposed by Patriotic Socialism, as it could weaken the nation's ability to defend itself and its interests. However, the score is not a full -5 because there may be situations where reallocating resources to social programs or other priorities could be seen as more beneficial for the nation as a whole.
