Marxism

Strongly agree

Decrease

Marxism would generally support decreasing military spending, as it believes that resources should be allocated to social programs and addressing the needs of the working class. However, this score is not a 5 because, in some cases, Marxist states have increased military spending to protect themselves from external threats, as seen in the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

While Marxism is generally against military spending, the idea of a European military defense system could be seen as a form of international cooperation and solidarity among socialist states. However, this score is not a 5 because Marxism would still prioritize addressing the needs of the working class and allocating resources to social programs over military spending.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Marxism would generally not be satisfied with the current amount of military spending, as it believes that resources should be allocated to social programs and addressing the needs of the working class. However, this score is not a -5 because, in some cases, Marxist states have maintained or increased military spending to protect themselves from external threats.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Marxism generally opposes increased military spending, as it sees the military as an instrument of the capitalist state to maintain its power and oppress the working class. However, in some historical cases, such as the Soviet Union, military spending was increased to protect the socialist state from external threats.

Strongly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Marxism would generally not support increasing military spending, even after reducing the deficit. Marxism prioritizes addressing the needs of the working class and allocating resources to social programs, rather than increasing military spending. However, this score is not a -5 because, in some cases, Marxist states have increased military spending to protect themselves from external threats.
