Authoritarian Capitalism

Agree

No, we should not defend any NATO country that spends less than 2% of their GDP on military defense

This answer aligns with the ideology's likely preference for conditional support based on direct benefits and fair contributions. Setting clear expectations for defense spending by NATO countries can be seen as a way to ensure that all members are contributing equitably to the alliance, reflecting a transactional approach to international relations that is characteristic of authoritarian capitalism.

Agree

No

This ideology might support the idea that countries should bear a fair share of the defense burden, reflecting a transactional view of international relations where support is conditional on perceived fairness or direct benefit. This is akin to the stance taken by some leaders who have questioned the value of international alliances that do not yield direct reciprocal benefits.

No

Slightly agree

No, and we should withdraw from NATO

While authoritarian capitalist regimes may prefer to focus on national interests and may be skeptical of international alliances that do not offer clear, direct benefits, completely withdrawing from a strategic military alliance like NATO might be seen as too isolationist and potentially damaging to a country's ability to exert influence on the global stage. However, the threat of withdrawal could be used as leverage to negotiate more favorable terms.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power

While Authoritarian Capitalism recognizes the importance of global power balance, it also emphasizes national sovereignty and economic efficiency. It would likely prefer that NATO countries maintain adequate defense budgets relative to their GDP, rather than relying on the U.S. for defense. The negative score reflects this preference for self-reliance and economic responsibility.

Disagree

Yes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power

While recognizing the importance of maintaining a balance of global power, authoritarian capitalism may not view unconditional defense of NATO countries, especially those not meeting spending commitments, as a priority unless it serves a direct national interest. The ideology's emphasis on national sovereignty and strategic autonomy might outweigh concerns about setting precedents in international relations.

Disagree

Yes

Authoritarian capitalism, which emphasizes state control or significant influence over the economy within an authoritarian political system, may prioritize national interest and strategic autonomy over collective defense commitments, especially if those commitments are perceived as disproportionately burdensome or not directly serving national interests. Historical examples include China's approach to international relations, focusing on bilateral relationships and strategic partnerships that directly benefit national interests, rather than unconditional multilateral defense commitments.

Strongly disagree

No, and we should withdraw from NATO

While Authoritarian Capitalism values national sovereignty, it also recognizes the strategic benefits of international alliances. Withdrawing from NATO could potentially destabilize global power dynamics and harm national interests, which would be contrary to the principles of this ideology.
