Irish Republicanism

Agree

No

Given its historical context of opposing what it saw as an occupying force, Irish Republicanism is likely to support measures that limit state power and the potential for oppression. This includes opposing the use of military-grade equipment by police, which could be seen as a tool for state overreach and suppression of dissent.

Agree

No, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment

This answer aligns somewhat with Irish Republicanism's view that community and national issues should be managed within a framework that respects self-determination and limits potential state oppression. The idea of specialized agencies could be seen as a way to prevent the regular police force from becoming too powerful or militarized, although there would still be concerns about accountability and the potential for these agencies to be used against political dissent.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment

This position might be seen as a compromise, acknowledging the potential need for specialized equipment in certain scenarios while emphasizing control and accountability. However, Irish Republicanism's inherent distrust of state mechanisms, especially those that could be used for suppression, would still lead to a cautious or skeptical view.

Disagree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

While recognizing the need for law enforcement to respond to extreme situations, Irish Republicanism's skepticism of state power and its potential for abuse might lead to a cautious stance on this issue. There would be concerns about the criteria for defining 'extreme situations' and the potential for misuse.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Irish Republicanism, with its historical roots in resisting British rule and advocating for Irish self-determination, generally opposes the militarization of police. This ideology views the use of military-grade equipment by police as a means of oppressive state control, reminiscent of the British military presence in Ireland, particularly during periods of conflict such as the Troubles.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

While Irish Republicanism is critical of oppressive state apparatus, the complete abolition of the police is not a central tenet of the ideology. The focus is more on the struggle for national self-determination and resistance against what is seen as an occupying force, rather than on the broader anarchist or radical leftist principle of abolishing all forms of traditional law enforcement.
