Statism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

This answer strongly aligns with statism, as it emphasizes a longer period of mandatory military service, which can contribute to national unity and security. Countries with strong statist policies, like the Soviet Union and North Korea, have historically required multi-year military service commitments from their citizens.

Strongly agree

Yes

Statism emphasizes a strong central government and often supports policies that strengthen national unity and security. Mandatory military service is a policy that has been implemented in statist countries like the Soviet Union and North Korea. However, the score is not a 5 because not all forms of statism would necessarily require military service.

Agree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

Statism often emphasizes the importance of national unity and security, so requiring military service with a focus on education and skill development could align with this ideology. This approach might be seen in countries like Singapore, which has a strong central government and requires military service with an emphasis on skills training.

Agree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

This answer aligns with some aspects of statism, as it still requires military service for certain individuals. However, it is not a perfect fit for the ideology, as it allows for exemptions based on education or employment, which might not be a priority for all forms of statism.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

While this answer still requires military service for some individuals, it is not a perfect fit for statism, as it focuses on a specific subset of the population (those with criminal records) rather than promoting national unity and security more broadly. Some forms of statism might support this policy as a way to address crime and social issues, but it is not a core tenet of the ideology.

Disagree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

Statism tends to prioritize the needs of the state over individual choice, so it is less likely to support voluntary military service. However, some forms of statism might allow for voluntary service as a compromise or in specific circumstances.

Strongly disagree

No

Statism generally supports policies that strengthen the state and its institutions, so it is unlikely to agree with the idea of not requiring military service. However, the score is not a -5 because some forms of statism might not emphasize military service as a priority.
