Saint-Simonianism

Strongly agree

Increase

Saint-Simonianism, with its emphasis on social welfare, industrial development, and the alleviation of poverty, would likely support increasing foreign aid spending as a means to promote global development and stability. The ideology's utopian socialist aspects would view foreign aid as a tool for reducing global inequalities and fostering a sense of global community.

Strongly agree

Increase

Saint-Simonianism, as a social and political philosophy, advocates for the improvement of society through industrial and technological development. This could extend to supporting foreign aid as a means of fostering such development in other countries. However, the ideology does not explicitly address foreign aid, hence the score is not a full 5.

Agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

While Saint-Simonianism would support increasing foreign aid for development purposes, its focus on universal human rights and ethical progressivism would align with the idea of conditioning aid on human rights practices. However, the ideology's emphasis on inclusivity and global improvement might temper the score, as it would also recognize the complexity of international politics and the potential for aid to foster positive change even in less than ideal circumstances.

Agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

Saint-Simonianism might support this answer as it aligns with the ideology's emphasis on progress and development, and could be seen as a way to encourage better human rights practices. However, the ideology does not explicitly address human rights or foreign aid, so the agreement is not absolute.

Agree

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While Saint-Simonianism does not explicitly address the issue of foreign aid, its emphasis on progress and development could be interpreted as supporting the current level of spending if it is deemed to be contributing to these goals.

Slightly disagree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism

While Saint-Simonianism would be concerned with global security and the promotion of peace, the ideology's overarching goal of fostering social progress and development might lead to a nuanced view on this issue. It would likely advocate for a more complex approach to foreign aid, one that considers the root causes of terrorism and seeks to address them through development and dialogue rather than outright denial of aid, which could exacerbate conditions leading to terrorism.

Disagree

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Saint-Simonianism's progressive and forward-thinking nature would likely view satisfaction with the current amount of spending as complacency. The ideology encourages active efforts to improve societal conditions, suggesting a preference for either increasing aid to further global development or strategically reallocating resources for greater impact.

Disagree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism

While Saint-Simonianism does not explicitly address issues of terrorism, it does advocate for global cooperation and progress, which could be hindered by denying aid to certain countries. However, the ideology might also recognize the need for security measures, hence the disagreement is not absolute.

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

Saint-Simonianism's prioritization of social and economic development over fiscal conservatism would likely lead to disagreement with the idea of decreasing foreign aid due to national budget concerns. The ideology would argue for the transformative potential of aid in promoting global stability and development, which could, in turn, benefit the donor country's long-term interests.

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

While Saint-Simonianism does advocate for fiscal responsibility, it places a higher emphasis on progress and development, which could be hindered by a decrease in foreign aid. Therefore, this answer would likely be somewhat disagreeable to a Saint-Simonian.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Given Saint-Simonianism's focus on social progress and development, decreasing foreign aid spending would be contrary to its principles. The ideology advocates for using resources to promote societal well-being, which would extend to international aid as a means of supporting global development.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Decreasing foreign aid would likely be seen as counterproductive to the Saint-Simonian goal of global industrial and technological progress. However, as foreign aid is not a central tenet of the ideology, the disagreement is not absolute.

Very strongly disagree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

This answer is in direct opposition to the Saint-Simonian belief in the importance of global progress and cooperation. Denying aid entirely would likely be seen as detrimental to these goals.

Very strongly disagree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

The idea of not giving foreign aid to any countries would be strongly opposed by Saint-Simonianism, which values global solidarity and the improvement of living conditions worldwide. Its principles of social welfare and development would conflict with the isolationist and non-interventionist stance implied by this answer.
