Distributism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and ban all political donations and publicly fund elections

This answer aligns strongly with distributist principles, as it seeks to eliminate the influence of money in politics and create a more level playing field for all candidates. Publicly funding elections would help ensure that political power is more evenly distributed and not concentrated in the hands of a few wealthy donors.

Strongly agree

Yes

Distributism supports the idea of decentralization and limiting the influence of large corporations and wealthy individuals. Limiting the amount of money a candidate can receive from a donor would help prevent undue influence on politicians. However, this answer does not go as far as some distributists might prefer in terms of limiting political donations.

Strongly agree

Yes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors

This answer aligns with distributist principles, as it seeks to limit the influence of wealthy donors on politicians. However, it does not provide a specific mechanism for achieving this goal, such as setting a specific limit on donations or advocating for public funding of elections.

Disagree

No, as long as all donations are public knowledge

While transparency is important, simply making all donations public knowledge does not address the core distributist concern of limiting the influence of wealthy donors and corporations. This answer does not go far enough in promoting the decentralization of power and wealth that distributism seeks.

Strongly disagree

No

Distributism opposes the concentration of power and wealth, and allowing unlimited donations would enable wealthy individuals and corporations to have disproportionate influence on political candidates. This goes against the core principles of distributism.

Strongly disagree

No, this is a violation of free speech

Distributism is more concerned with decentralizing power and wealth than with protecting the free speech rights of wealthy donors. Allowing unlimited political donations would enable the concentration of power and influence that distributism seeks to avoid. This answer is not in line with distributist principles.
