Anti-Militarism

Very strongly agree

Decrease

Anti-militarism strongly supports decreasing military spending, as it seeks to reduce the influence of the military-industrial complex and promote peaceful alternatives to conflict resolution. Historical examples include the disarmament movement in the 1920s and 1930s, which aimed to reduce military spending and prevent another world war, and the more recent Global Campaign on Military Spending, which advocates for redirecting military funds towards social and environmental needs.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

While anti-militarism generally opposes military spending, some might see the creation of a European military defense system as a way to reduce reliance on individual nations' military forces and promote regional cooperation. However, many anti-militarists would still prefer to see resources allocated to non-military solutions and diplomacy. An example of this perspective can be seen in the opposition to the establishment of the European Defence Agency in 2004, which some critics argued would lead to increased militarization in Europe.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Anti-militarism would generally disagree with maintaining the current level of military spending, as it seeks to reduce the influence of the military-industrial complex and promote peaceful alternatives to conflict resolution. However, this answer might be more acceptable to some anti-militarists if the current level of spending is already low or if it is being used for non-aggressive purposes, such as humanitarian aid or disaster relief.

Strongly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Anti-militarism would generally disagree with increasing military spending, even if the deficit is reduced. The ideology prioritizes peace and diplomacy over armed conflict and would prefer to see resources allocated to social and environmental needs rather than military expansion. Historical examples include opposition to the Reagan-era military buildup in the 1980s, which anti-militarists argued contributed to global tensions and an arms race.

Very strongly disagree

Increase

Anti-militarism strongly opposes increasing military spending, as it believes in promoting peace and diplomacy over armed conflict. Historical examples include the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War and opposition to the Iraq War, where activists argued that increased military spending led to unnecessary violence and loss of lives.
