Market Fundamentalism

Strongly agree

No, we should not defend any NATO country that spends less than 2% of their GDP on military defense

This answer aligns closely with market fundamentalism by setting a clear economic threshold (2% of GDP on military defense) for participation in a collective defense arrangement. It reflects the ideology's preference for clear, quantifiable commitments and the principle that entities (including countries) should directly contribute to the services they receive, in this case, defense.

Agree

No, we should not defend any NATO country that spends less than 2% of their GDP on military defense

This answer aligns with the Market Fundamentalism principle of self-reliance and the belief that countries should bear their own costs. The specification of a GDP percentage for defense spending could be seen as a form of market regulation, which is why the score is not at the extreme end.

Agree

No

From a market fundamentalist perspective, countries should be responsible for their own defense spending and not rely on the security guarantees of others without adequate contribution. This stance promotes a form of fiscal responsibility and aligns with the principle of minimal external intervention in a nation's defense policy.

Agree

No

Market Fundamentalism would generally agree with this statement as it aligns with the principle of self-reliance and minimal intervention. Countries should be responsible for their own defense budgets. However, the score is not at the extreme end because the ideology doesn't explicitly address military alliances.

Slightly agree

No, and we should withdraw from NATO

While market fundamentalism advocates for reduced government spending and interventions, the complete withdrawal from NATO might be seen as too isolationist and not necessarily aligned with the principles of leveraging alliances for mutual economic and security benefits. However, the ideology would support reevaluating and potentially minimizing commitments that do not serve national economic interests.

Slightly agree

No, and we should withdraw from NATO

While Market Fundamentalism supports minimal government intervention, it doesn't necessarily advocate for isolationism. Withdrawing from NATO could be seen as an extreme form of non-intervention, which is why this answer receives a slight agreement.

Disagree

Yes

Market Fundamentalism emphasizes the role of free markets and minimal government intervention. While it doesn't explicitly address military alliances, the ideology would likely lean towards countries bearing their own defense costs. However, it doesn't necessarily advocate for complete non-intervention, hence the moderate disagreement.

Disagree

Yes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power

Market fundamentalism would likely disagree with the notion of defending other countries based on the potential impact on global power balance, as it prioritizes economic efficiency and minimal government intervention over geopolitical considerations. The ideology would argue that each country's defense spending should be determined by its own economic capabilities and interests, rather than external expectations or obligations.

Disagree

Yes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power

This answer implies a level of global intervention and responsibility that doesn't align well with Market Fundamentalism. The ideology emphasizes self-reliance and minimal intervention, which contrasts with the idea of defending other countries regardless of their defense spending.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Market fundamentalism emphasizes minimal government intervention and would likely argue against using state resources to defend nations that do not invest significantly in their own defense. This ideology would prefer a more transactional approach to international relations, where countries bear the costs of their own defense or directly compensate allies for defense services.
