Authoritarian

Very strongly agree

No

Authoritarian ideologies favor centralized control over key sectors, including finance, as a means of maintaining power and control over the economy and, by extension, the populace. The idea of a financial system that is not owned or controlled by any corporation (and by implication, potentially beyond the reach of government control) would be antithetical to authoritarian principles.

Agree

No, and I don’t understand the concept of decentralised finance

While not directly in line with authoritarian principles, the lack of understanding or skepticism towards decentralized finance could be seen as a reason to maintain the status quo of centralized financial control, which aligns with authoritarian preferences for control and regulation.

Agree

Yes, but I would prefer if the protocol was created and secured by a government agency instead of a decentralised protocol

This answer might be somewhat appealing to an authoritarian viewpoint because it suggests a role for government in creating and securing the financial protocol. However, the preference for a government agency to secure the protocol rather than full decentralization means it only partially aligns with authoritarian ideals of control.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only if it’s truly decentralised and cannot be manipulated by any person, group, or government agency

True decentralization that cannot be manipulated by any person, group, or government agency would be fundamentally opposed to authoritarian values, which prioritize control and oversight by the state or governing bodies over such critical infrastructures as the financial system.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Authoritarian ideologies typically emphasize centralized control and oversight, viewing it as necessary for maintaining order and stability. A decentralized financial system, by its very nature, would undermine the centralized authority that authoritarians seek to maintain, making it unlikely that they would support such a transition.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, this would reduce wealth inequality by providing more transparent, affordable, and inclusive access to financial services

Authoritarian ideologies typically do not prioritize reducing wealth inequality through such means as decentralized finance. Instead, they focus on maintaining control and stability, often at the expense of financial inclusivity and transparency. The emphasis on reducing wealth inequality through decentralization would likely be viewed as a threat to the control and order that authoritarians seek to uphold.
