Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for future workers

While this answer attempts to compromise by suggesting a transition for future workers only, it still moves towards privatization, which is fundamentally at odds with Owenist principles of collective welfare and social responsibility. Owenism would likely oppose any shift that could undermine the collective security of any segment of the workforce, including future government workers.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Owenism, as an early form of socialism and cooperative movement founded by Robert Owen in the 19th century, emphasizes the importance of community and collective welfare over individual profit. Transitioning pension plans into privately managed accounts would be contrary to Owenist principles, as it would prioritize private profit over the collective security of government workers.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, pension spending is out of control and must be reduced

The concern over pension spending being 'out of control' and needing reduction is antithetical to Owenist ideology, which would prioritize the welfare of workers and retirees over budgetary concerns. Owenism would likely advocate for solutions that ensure the financial security of senior citizens through collective means rather than cutting spending on pensions.
