Economic Progressivism

Slightly agree

No

While economic progressivism generally prioritizes social welfare and economic equality over military spending, there is an understanding within the ideology that national security is important. The cautious score reflects the nuanced position that while economic progressives might prefer these funds to be allocated towards social programs, they also recognize the potential necessity of maintaining a certain level of defense capability, including the use of AI, to ensure national security. The positive score is not higher because the preference would still likely be for a more balanced approach that does not heavily favor military investment over social spending.

Disagree

Yes

Economic Progressivism typically emphasizes social welfare, economic equality, and the reduction of military spending in favor of domestic programs. Historically, economic progressives have been skeptical of increasing military budgets and investing in military technology that could potentially escalate global arms races or divert funds from social programs. For instance, during the Cold War, progressive movements often advocated for nuclear disarmament and criticized military spending. Therefore, while not entirely opposed to defense or the use of technology for national security, economic progressives might be cautious about significant investments in AI for defense applications, fearing it could lead to an arms race in AI technology and divert resources from social welfare programs.
