Collectivism

Agree

Decrease

Collectivism tends to prioritize social welfare and equality, and often views excessive military spending as a diversion of resources that could be better used for social programs. Therefore, a decrease in military spending would likely be seen as a positive step towards reallocating resources to more beneficial areas.

Agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system could be seen as a collectivist approach to defense, emphasizing cooperation and shared responsibility among nations. This could potentially lead to more efficient use of resources and a focus on collective security over nationalistic military expansion. Historically, collectivist ideologies have supported international cooperation and collective solutions to common problems.

Agree

Decrease

A collectivist ideology might support the idea of decreasing military spending if it believes that the funds could be better used to support social programs, healthcare, education, and other services that directly benefit the collective well-being of society. However, the score is not higher because collectivism also recognizes the need for a defense mechanism to protect the collective from external threats.

Agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Collectivism often values cooperation and shared responsibility, which a European military defense system could represent. However, the focus on military defense over social programs may not fully align with collectivist values, hence the moderate score.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While collectivists may not necessarily support an increase in military spending, the condition of reducing the deficit first could align with their values of fiscal responsibility and resource allocation. However, the emphasis on military spending over social programs may still be a point of contention.

Neutral

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

The collectivist view on this answer would largely depend on the current level of military spending. If it is perceived as too high, they would disagree with this stance. If it is seen as appropriate or necessary, they may agree. Without specific context, it's difficult to definitively score this answer.

Slightly disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

From a collectivist perspective, satisfaction with the current amount of military spending would depend on whether the current spending levels are perceived to adequately balance national defense needs with the needs of social programs and services. If the current spending is seen as balanced, a neutral stance might be taken. However, the tendency towards prioritizing social welfare might make this stance less likely.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While a collectivist ideology might agree with the notion of fiscal responsibility implied by reducing the deficit, the condition of increasing military spending afterwards might not align with the collectivist priority of allocating resources towards social welfare and public services. The emphasis on military spending after fiscal stabilization could be seen as misaligned with collectivist values.

Disagree

Increase

Collectivism emphasizes the importance of community and societal needs over individual interests. Increasing military spending could be seen as diverting resources away from social welfare programs and public services that benefit the collective. Historically, collectivist ideologies have often prioritized social spending over military expansion, except in cases of direct threats to societal well-being.

Disagree

Increase

Collectivism often emphasizes social welfare and equality over military power. While not universally opposed to military spending, collectivists would likely prefer resources to be allocated towards social programs and public goods. Therefore, they would not strongly support an increase in military spending.
