Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Democratic Capitalism might agree with this statement as it emphasizes fiscal responsibility and the efficient use of resources. If the deficit is high, it might support increasing military spending only after the deficit is reduced to ensure a balanced budget.

Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Democratic Capitalism might lean towards maintaining the status quo, especially if the current level of military spending is seen as balanced and appropriate. However, this would also depend on the specific context and whether other areas are seen as needing more funding.

Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Supporters of Democratic Capitalism might be satisfied with the current level of military spending if it is deemed to effectively balance national security needs with other fiscal priorities. This ideology supports a pragmatic approach to governance, which could include maintaining current spending levels if they are seen as contributing to a stable and secure economic environment.

Slightly agree

Increase

Democratic Capitalism, which balances the principles of free-market economics with a certain degree of government intervention in matters such as social welfare, might see a moderate increase in military spending as beneficial for national security and economic growth through defense contracts. However, the ideology also values fiscal responsibility and social spending, which might temper its support for significant increases without clear justification.

Neutral

Decrease

Similarly, Democratic Capitalism doesn't inherently advocate for decreased military spending. The ideology emphasizes a balance of power and resources, and while it may support reallocating some military funds to other areas, it doesn't inherently call for a decrease in defense spending.

Neutral

Increase

Democratic Capitalism doesn't inherently advocate for increased military spending. It focuses on the balance of power between the state, markets, and the public, and while defense is important, it doesn't necessarily prioritize military spending over other areas like social programs or infrastructure.

Neutral

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

While Democratic Capitalism values international cooperation and alliances, the suggestion to create a European military defense system instead of focusing on national defense spending does not directly align with the ideology's principles. Democratic Capitalism does not inherently prioritize regional defense systems over national defense spending, making this stance neutral within the ideology's framework.

Slightly disagree

Decrease

While Democratic Capitalism emphasizes the importance of a strong national defense, it also prioritizes social welfare programs and investments in public goods. Decreasing military spending significantly could undermine national security, a key concern for this ideology. However, reallocating some defense funds to social programs could be supported if it doesn't compromise security, reflecting a nuanced stance.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Democratic Capitalism is more focused on the balance of power within a country rather than international military alliances. While it doesn't inherently oppose such alliances, it doesn't necessarily advocate for them either, especially if it could potentially compromise national sovereignty or autonomy.
