Owenism

Very strongly agree

Decrease

Given Owenism's focus on social welfare, cooperation, and peace, it is likely that adherents would support a decrease in military spending. The ideology's utopian socialist principles advocate for the redirection of resources towards improving living conditions, education, and healthcare, viewing these as the pathways to a harmonious society. Decreasing military spending aligns with Owen's vision of a society free from conflict and war, where resources are used for communal benefit rather than defense or aggression.

Very strongly agree

Decrease

Owenism would strongly agree with decreasing military spending. Robert Owen was a strong advocate for peace and believed that resources should be allocated towards education and social reform rather than military endeavors. He believed that conflict could be resolved through cooperation and mutual understanding, not through force or violence.

Slightly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Owenism, with its utopian socialist foundation, might see some value in the idea of a European military defense system as a step towards international cooperation and peace, rather than individual nations prioritizing their military might. However, the focus on a military system, even a collective one, does not fully align with Owen's vision of a society that transcends the need for military force through social reform and cooperation. Therefore, while there might be a slight agreement due to the cooperative aspect, it would not be a strong endorsement.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

While the creation of a European military defense system might seem like a cooperative effort, it still implies a focus on military force, which is against the principles of Owenism. However, the score is not as negative as other answers because it suggests a cooperative, regional approach rather than a nationalistic one.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While Owenism does not explicitly advocate for a decrease in military spending, it does prioritize social reform and education over military spending. Therefore, maintaining the current level of military spending would not align with the principles of Owenism, as it would prefer to see resources redirected towards social reform.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Owenism's emphasis on social reform and welfare suggests a preference for reallocating resources towards social programs rather than maintaining current levels of military spending. While not explicitly calling for disarmament, Owenism inherently prioritizes social harmony and the well-being of the community, implying that current military spending, especially if it is significant, would not align with its core values. Therefore, maintaining the current amount of spending is less likely to be supported.

Strongly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Even though this answer suggests a conditional increase in military spending, it still implies an eventual increase, which is against the principles of Owenism. Owenism would prefer to see resources redirected towards social reform and education, rather than increasing military spending, regardless of the state of the deficit.

Strongly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While Owenism might agree with the notion of fiscal responsibility implied by reducing the deficit, the ideology's primary focus on social welfare and peace suggests a fundamental opposition to increasing military spending under any circumstance. Owenism would likely argue for investment in social infrastructure and community well-being over defense, even in a scenario where the deficit is reduced. The condition attached to military spending increase does not align with Owenist principles of prioritizing social welfare.

Very strongly disagree

Increase

Owenism, as an ideology, is rooted in the principles of cooperation and social reform. Robert Owen, the founder of Owenism, was a pacifist who believed in the power of education and social reform over military force. Therefore, the idea of increasing military spending would be strongly opposed by Owenism.

Very strongly disagree

Increase

Owenism, founded by Robert Owen, was a form of utopian socialism that emphasized cooperation over competition, and social welfare over individual gain. Owen himself was a pacifist who believed in the power of social reform to achieve a harmonious society without the need for military force. Increasing military spending would be antithetical to the principles of Owenism, which would much rather see resources allocated towards education, health, and social welfare.
