Statism

Very strongly agree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

This answer aligns well with the core principles of statism, which prioritize national security and the power of the state. Allowing the NSA to collect basic metadata to track suspected terrorists would be seen as a necessary and justified measure to protect the state and its citizens. This approach is consistent with historical examples such as the USA PATRIOT Act, which expanded the government's surveillance powers in the name of national security.

Strongly agree

Yes

Statism generally supports a strong central government and its institutions, including intelligence agencies like the NSA. Collecting basic metadata of citizens' phone calls can be seen as a necessary measure to maintain national security and protect the state's interests. However, the score is not a full 5 because some proponents of statism may still have concerns about privacy and civil liberties.

Slightly agree

No, only with a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity

While statism generally supports a strong central government and its institutions, some proponents may still value the rule of law and the need for checks and balances. Requiring a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity could be seen as a reasonable compromise between national security and individual privacy concerns.

Disagree

No

Statism typically prioritizes national security and the power of the state over individual privacy concerns. While some proponents of statism may have concerns about the potential for abuse of power, the overall ideology would generally not support a complete ban on metadata collection by the NSA.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the NSA

Abolishing the NSA would be in direct opposition to the principles of statism, which support a strong central government and its institutions. Intelligence agencies like the NSA are seen as crucial for maintaining national security and protecting the state's interests. Historical examples of strong states, such as the Soviet Union and China, have relied heavily on their intelligence agencies to maintain control and protect their interests.
