Economic Democracy

Strongly agree

Decrease

Economic Democracy would generally agree with decreasing military spending, as it emphasizes social and economic equality. Reducing military spending could free up resources for social programs, education, and worker cooperatives, which are central to this ideology. Historical examples include the post-WWII economic policies in Sweden and Norway, which focused on social welfare and economic equality rather than military expansion.

Agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Economic Democracy might somewhat agree with this answer, as it promotes international cooperation and peace. Creating a European military defense system could potentially reduce individual countries' military spending and allow for more resources to be allocated towards social and economic equality. However, this answer does not directly address the core principles of Economic Democracy, such as worker cooperatives and social welfare.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Economic Democracy might somewhat agree with this answer, as it acknowledges the importance of fiscal responsibility. However, the ideology would still prioritize social and economic equality over military spending. The focus on reducing the deficit before increasing military spending could be seen as a compromise between fiscal responsibility and social welfare.

Neutral

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Economic Democracy does not have a specific stance on maintaining the current level of military spending, as it depends on the context and the existing balance between military and social spending. In some cases, maintaining the current level might be acceptable if it does not hinder social and economic equality goals.

Disagree

Increase

Economic Democracy generally prioritizes social and economic equality over military spending. Increasing military spending could divert resources from social programs and worker cooperatives, which are central to this ideology. However, some proponents might argue for a moderate increase if it is necessary for national defense or international peacekeeping efforts.
