Socialism

Strongly agree

Decrease

Socialism tends to favor decreasing military spending in favor of reallocating resources to social programs and public services. For example, the Labour Party in the UK, which has socialist roots, has often advocated for reduced military spending. However, this is not a universally held position among all socialists, as some may see the need for a strong military to protect the nation or to support socialist movements in other countries.

Slightly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Some socialists may support the idea of a European military defense system as a way to promote international cooperation and reduce the need for individual countries to maintain large military budgets. However, this position is not inherently tied to socialism and would depend on the specific context and goals of the socialist movement in question.

Slightly disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While some socialists may be satisfied with the current level of military spending, the majority would likely advocate for a decrease in favor of reallocating resources to social programs. The score is not strongly negative because there is some variation in opinion among socialists on this issue.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Socialism generally does not prioritize increasing military spending, especially when there are other pressing social and economic issues to address. The idea of waiting for a reduced deficit before increasing military spending may be more in line with conservative or liberal ideologies, which prioritize fiscal responsibility and national defense.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Socialism generally prioritizes social welfare and equality over military spending. Historically, socialist movements have often advocated for disarmament and peaceful resolutions to conflicts. However, some socialist states like the Soviet Union and China have had significant military spending, but this is not a core tenet of socialism as an ideology.
