Communism

Very strongly agree

No

Communism seeks to abolish private property and the stock market. Members of Congress trading stocks would be in direct conflict with the ideology's goals. Historical examples include the Soviet Union and Maoist China, where stock markets did not exist.

No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

While communism ultimately seeks to abolish private property and the stock market, holding investments in a blind trust would be a step towards reducing the influence of personal financial interests in political decision-making. This aligns with the communist goal of eliminating the influence of capital on politics.

No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

While communism seeks to abolish private property and the stock market, preventing insider trading by friends and family of members of Congress aligns with the ideology's goal of eliminating corruption and the influence of capital on politics. However, this answer still implies that stock trading is allowed, which is not in line with the core principles of communism.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

Yes, as long as their trades are publicly reported in real time
