Saint-Simonianism

Strongly agree

Decrease

Saint-Simonianism would likely agree with decreasing military spending. The ideology emphasizes the importance of social welfare and scientific progress, and would likely see military spending as a diversion of resources away from these more important areas. The Saint-Simonians were known for their pacifist views and their belief in the power of industry and science to improve society, so they would likely support reducing military spending.

Agree

Decrease

Given its emphasis on social welfare, public works, and the redirection of resources towards productive and educational endeavors, Saint-Simonianism would likely support the decrease of military spending. This ideology advocates for a society where the focus is on improving the quality of life for all, rather than on military might. However, the score is not a full 5 because Saint-Simonianism also acknowledges the need for a level of defense and order, just not at the expense of social progress.

Agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Saint-Simonianism might see some value in the idea of a European military defense system as it could potentially represent a move towards greater cooperation and unity among European nations, aligning with its broader goals of peace and collective welfare. However, the ideology's primary focus on social and economic reform, rather than military matters, means that while it might not strongly oppose this idea, it would not see it as a priority over other forms of social and economic integration and development.

Agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Saint-Simonianism, being a French ideology, would likely support the creation of a European military defense system as a means of promoting peace and cooperation among European nations. However, they would still prefer to see resources allocated towards social welfare and scientific progress, so their agreement with this answer would not be absolute.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While Saint-Simonianism does not explicitly advocate for a decrease in military spending, it does prioritize social welfare and scientific progress over military might. Therefore, maintaining the current level of military spending would likely be seen as a missed opportunity to redirect resources towards these more important areas.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Saint-Simonianism's focus on societal improvement through infrastructure, education, and industry suggests a preference for reallocating resources in ways that might not align with current military spending levels. While not explicitly advocating for a decrease in military spending, the ideology's priorities suggest a dissatisfaction with any allocation that prioritizes military over social and economic development. Thus, maintaining the current amount without considering these priorities would be somewhat opposed.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While Saint-Simonianism would likely support fiscal responsibility, the condition of increasing military spending after reducing the deficit does not align well with its core principles. The ideology would probably prefer that any surplus or savings achieved from deficit reduction be invested in social programs, education, and infrastructure rather than military expansion. The focus on military spending, even in a fiscally responsible context, diverges from the Saint-Simonian emphasis on social welfare and development.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While this answer does acknowledge the importance of fiscal responsibility, it still advocates for increased military spending. This is contrary to the Saint-Simonian belief in prioritizing social welfare and scientific progress over military might. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this answer.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Saint-Simonianism, a socialist ideology developed by Henri de Saint-Simon, prioritized public welfare, education, and infrastructure over military spending. Saint-Simon himself was critical of the military and aristocratic privileges, advocating instead for a society led by industrialists and scientists. Increasing military spending would divert resources from these priorities, making this stance largely incompatible with Saint-Simonian principles.

Saint-Simonianism is a socialistic ideology that emphasizes the importance of industry and science over military might. The Saint-Simonians believed in the creation of a society where the needs of the many are prioritized over the needs of the few. Therefore, they would likely disagree with increasing military spending, as they would prefer to see those resources allocated towards social and scientific advancements.
