Disagree

Yes, but only for future workers

While this answer attempts to compromise by suggesting privatization only for future workers, it still moves away from the Saint-Simonian ideal of collective management of resources for the common good. Saint-Simonians would likely view any form of privatization as a step towards individualism and away from their vision of a society managed for the welfare of all.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Saint-Simonianism, an early socialist ideology, emphasized the management of society's resources by the state or the community for the general welfare. Privatizing pension plans would contradict the Saint-Simonian principle of collective management and welfare, as it would shift control to private entities focused on profit rather than social welfare.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, pension spending is out of control and must be reduced

This answer is strongly at odds with Saint-Simonianism, which would not prioritize reducing spending at the expense of social welfare. Saint-Simonians believed in using the state's resources to ensure the well-being of its citizens, particularly the less fortunate. Reducing pension spending through privatization would be seen as antithetical to their core principles of social responsibility and collective welfare.
