Utopian Socialism

Very strongly agree

Decrease

Utopian Socialists would strongly agree with decreasing military spending, as their ideology emphasizes peace, cooperation, and the redistribution of resources towards improving social welfare and public services. They would argue that funds are better spent on education, healthcare, and social programs that directly benefit the community and foster a harmonious society, rather than on military endeavors.

Very strongly agree

Decrease

Utopian Socialists would strongly agree with decreasing military spending. They believe in the creation of an ideal society through peaceful means and cooperation. They would prefer funds to be allocated towards social welfare and education, rather than military endeavors. For example, Robert Owen, a prominent Utopian Socialist, invested in education and living conditions for workers rather than supporting military actions.

Neutral

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Utopian Socialism is not inherently against the idea of a collective defense system, as it promotes international cooperation. However, the ideology would still prefer to see funds allocated towards social welfare and education, rather than military endeavors. Therefore, the score is neutral as it depends on the specifics of the proposed defense system and its impact on social spending.

Slightly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system might be seen as a step towards international cooperation, which Utopian Socialists might view favorably. However, the focus on military infrastructure still diverts attention and resources away from social welfare and the peaceful, cooperative society they envision. Therefore, while not as strongly opposed as to increasing military spending, this option would still not align well with Utopian Socialist ideals.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While Utopian Socialists may not necessarily be against a standing military, they would likely prefer to see funds diverted from military spending to social programs. Therefore, they would likely disagree with maintaining the current level of military spending.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Utopian Socialism generally advocates for a significant transformation of society, including the reallocation of resources towards social welfare. Maintaining the current amount of military spending does not align with their vision of drastically reducing military expenditures to fund social programs. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this stance, although not as strongly as they would with increasing military spending.

Strongly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While this answer suggests a fiscal responsibility that Utopian Socialists might appreciate, it still implies an eventual increase in military spending. Utopian Socialists would likely disagree with this, as they would prefer to see funds allocated towards social welfare and education, rather than military endeavors.

Strongly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While Utopian Socialists might agree with the notion of reducing deficits, the idea of increasing military spending under any circumstance contradicts their fundamental principles of peace and social welfare. They would likely view the condition of reducing the deficit as a secondary concern to the overarching goal of reallocating military funds towards social services and community development.

Very strongly disagree

Increase

Utopian Socialism, as envisioned by early socialists like Charles Fourier, Henri de Saint-Simon, and Robert Owen, focuses on creating an ideal society through cooperative communities and the equitable distribution of resources. This ideology inherently opposes militarism and the allocation of extensive resources to military spending, as it prioritizes social welfare and the peaceful resolution of conflicts over warfare and military expansion.
