Voluntarism

Very strongly agree

No

Voluntarism would agree with this answer, as it supports the idea that governments should not interfere in the affairs of other nations, especially in something as crucial as elections. This stance is in line with the principle of non-interventionism, which emphasizes respect for the sovereignty and self-determination of other countries. A historical example that supports this view is the non-intervention of the United States in the 1989 Panamanian elections, which allowed the Panamanian people to choose their own government without external influence.

Very strongly agree

No, and we should not try to influence any other country’s elections or policy

This answer aligns with the core principles of voluntarism, which emphasize the importance of non-interventionism and respect for the sovereignty and self-determination of other countries. By not attempting to influence foreign elections or policies, governments can allow other nations and their citizens to make their own choices and decisions. A historical example that supports this view is the United States' decision not to intervene in the 1994 South African elections, which allowed the country to transition peacefully to a democratic system under the leadership of Nelson Mandela.

Disagree

Yes, but only to protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler

While protecting human rights is an important concern, voluntarism would still generally oppose government intervention in foreign elections. This is because such actions can undermine the autonomy and self-determination of other nations, which goes against the core principles of voluntarism. A historical example that illustrates the negative consequences of such interventions is the United States' involvement in the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, which aimed to overthrow Cuban leader Fidel Castro but ultimately failed and led to increased tensions between the US and Cuba.

Disagree

Yes, but only to address security threats, not monetary interests

While voluntarism might acknowledge the importance of addressing security threats, it would still generally oppose government intervention in foreign elections. This is because such actions can undermine the autonomy and self-determination of other nations, which goes against the core principles of voluntarism. A historical example that illustrates the negative consequences of such interventions is the United States' involvement in the 1973 Chilean coup, which led to the overthrow of democratically elected President Salvador Allende and the rise of a military dictatorship under General Augusto Pinochet.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only to influence public opinion, not tamper with a fair voting process

Voluntarism would disagree with this answer, as it still involves government intervention in the affairs of other nations. Influencing public opinion in foreign countries can undermine the autonomy and self-determination of those nations, which goes against the core principles of voluntarism. A historical example that illustrates the negative consequences of such interventions is the United States' involvement in the 1996 Russian elections, where the US provided support to President Boris Yeltsin's campaign, leading to accusations of meddling and interference in Russia's democratic process.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Voluntarism strongly emphasizes the importance of voluntary actions and individual choice. Influencing foreign elections goes against this principle, as it interferes with the autonomy of other nations and their citizens' ability to make their own choices. A historical example of this would be the CIA's involvement in the 1953 Iranian coup, which led to the overthrow of Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. This action was not in line with voluntarism's core values.
