No, and make it a criminal offense

Making it a criminal offense for homeless individuals to sleep or encamp on public property aligns closely with authoritarian principles of strict law enforcement and control over public spaces. Authoritarian regimes often employ punitive measures to deal with social issues, aiming to deter behaviors deemed undesirable by the state. This approach reflects historical practices in various authoritarian states where homelessness was criminalized as part of broader efforts to maintain social order and public appearance.

Agree

No

While authoritarian ideologies may not inherently oppose the idea of prohibiting homeless individuals from sleeping on public property, the simple prohibition without further punitive measures might be seen as insufficiently rigorous. Authoritarian regimes often seek to assert control and may view the mere act of prohibition as too passive, preferring more direct interventions to address issues of homelessness and public order.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and create more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine

Authoritarian ideologies typically do not prioritize social welfare programs aimed at addressing the root causes of homelessness, such as providing free food, clothing, and medicine, especially when framed as enabling individuals to remain homeless. Instead, they may view such programs as encouraging dependency or undermining the work ethic. Authoritarian regimes have historically focused on compulsory solutions to social problems, such as forced rehabilitation or internment, rather than voluntary social support services.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Authoritarian ideologies typically emphasize order, control, and often prioritize public image and the enforcement of laws over individual freedoms. Allowing homeless individuals to sleep or encamp on public property without restrictions would likely be viewed as a failure to maintain public order and an erosion of state authority. Historical examples include strict vagrancy laws in Soviet Russia and the enforcement of public conduct laws in various authoritarian regimes to maintain a certain social order.
