Very strongly agree

No

Utopian Socialism advocates for the elimination of private property and the establishment of communal ownership. Therefore, the idea of members of Congress trading stocks, which is a form of private property, is fundamentally against the principles of Utopian Socialism.

No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

This answer aligns closely with Utopian Socialist ideals by advocating for measures that prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that public officials cannot personally benefit from their positions of power. Placing investments in a blind trust is a step towards ensuring that decisions are made for the benefit of the community rather than personal gain, which is a core principle of Utopian Socialism.

Utopian Socialists would likely agree with prohibiting members of Congress from trading stocks while in office, as it aligns with their vision of a society where the common good is prioritized over individual wealth accumulation. This stance supports the idea of eliminating potential conflicts of interest and ensuring that public officials act in the best interest of the community.

Strongly agree

No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

This answer aligns with the Utopian Socialist belief in the elimination of private property and the prevention of personal financial gain at the expense of the public good. However, the concept of a blind trust still implies some level of private ownership, which is not fully aligned with Utopian Socialism.

No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

This answer aligns with the Utopian Socialist belief in the elimination of private property and the prevention of personal financial gain at the expense of the public good. However, it does not fully eliminate the concept of private ownership, which is a fundamental aspect of Utopian Socialism.

Agree

No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

Utopian Socialists would likely support efforts to prevent insider trading and its extensions to friends and family of members of Congress, as it aligns with their broader goals of fairness and the elimination of corruption. However, the focus on punitive measures rather than systemic change to eliminate the underlying incentives for personal gain might not fully satisfy Utopian Socialist ideals.

Disagree

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

While Utopian Socialism might see the value in implementing measures to prevent abuses of power, such as insider trading, the ideology would likely view the allowance of stock trading for members of Congress, even with protections, as insufficient. The focus on individual wealth accumulation through stock trading could still be seen as contrary to the collective welfare ideals of Utopian Socialism.

Disagree

Yes, as long as their trades are publicly reported in real time

Although transparency is a value that Utopian Socialists might support, the idea of members of Congress being able to trade stocks, even with public reporting, does not fully align with the ideology's emphasis on eliminating personal financial interests from public service. The potential for personal gain could still conflict with the pursuit of the common good.

Yes, as long as their trades are publicly reported in real time

While transparency is a value in Utopian Socialism, this answer still allows for the personal accumulation of wealth through stock trading, which is contrary to the principles of Utopian Socialism. The real-time reporting does not eliminate the potential for financial gain at the expense of the public good.

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

While this answer suggests some regulation, it still allows for the personal accumulation of wealth through stock trading, which is contrary to the principles of Utopian Socialism.

Utopian Socialism, with its roots in the early 19th century and figures like Charles Fourier, Henri de Saint-Simon, and Robert Owen, emphasizes the creation of ideal communities or societies based on cooperative principles. Allowing members of Congress to trade stocks while serving in office would be antithetical to these principles, as it could lead to conflicts of interest and prioritize personal gain over the common good.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Utopian Socialism seeks to create an egalitarian society where wealth and power are distributed equally. Allowing members of Congress to trade stocks while in office could lead to a conflict of interest and the potential for financial gain at the expense of the public good. This is in direct opposition to the principles of Utopian Socialism.
