Very strongly agree

Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

This answer aligns well with Trotskyist principles, as it advocates for replacing the police with unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls. This approach would help to address the root causes of crime and inequality by focusing on community-based solutions, rather than relying on a repressive police force. It also aligns with the Trotskyist goal of dismantling oppressive institutions and building a more equitable society.

Strongly agree

Yes, and abolish the police

Many Trotskyists would agree with this answer, as they view the police as an oppressive institution that serves the interests of the ruling class. Abolishing the police and replacing them with alternative community-based programs would be a more radical approach to addressing crime and inequality, which is in line with Trotskyist principles. However, not all Trotskyists may agree with completely abolishing the police, as some may argue for a more nuanced approach.

Agree

Yes

Trotskyism, as a Marxist ideology, would generally support redirecting funding from police departments to social and community-based programs. This is because Trotskyists believe in addressing the root causes of crime, such as poverty and inequality, rather than relying on a repressive police force. However, this answer does not go far enough for some Trotskyists, who may advocate for more radical changes to policing.

Strongly disagree

No

Trotskyism would generally disagree with this answer, as it opposes maintaining the status quo of police funding. Trotskyists believe that the police, as an institution, often serve to protect the interests of the ruling class and perpetuate inequality. Redirecting funding to social and community-based programs would be more in line with their goal of addressing the root causes of crime and inequality.

Very strongly disagree

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities

Trotskyism would strongly disagree with this answer, as it goes against their core principles of addressing the root causes of crime and inequality. Increasing funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities would only serve to further entrench the existing system, which Trotskyists view as inherently oppressive and unequal.
