Trotskyism

Strongly agree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

This answer aligns with Trotskyist principles in two ways: it supports the demilitarization of local police departments, which can be seen as a form of state oppression, and it involves a mandatory buyback of assault weapons, which might be seen as disarming the proletariat. However, the mandatory buyback aspect might still be controversial among some Trotskyists, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Trotskyism would likely agree with the idea that a mandatory buyback of assault weapons is a violation of the right to bear arms, as it emphasizes the importance of an armed working class to resist oppression. However, this answer is based on the US 2nd amendment, which might not be universally applicable to Trotskyist movements in other countries.

Agree

No

Trotskyism would likely lean towards not having a mandatory buyback of assault weapons, as it emphasizes the importance of an armed working class to resist oppression. However, this does not mean that all Trotskyists would be against any form of gun control.

Slightly agree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

A voluntary buyback with strong financial incentives might be more acceptable to some Trotskyists, as it does not force the working class to give up their weapons. However, this answer still involves some level of gun control, which might not be fully supported by all Trotskyists.

Neutral

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Increasing mental health and background checks might be seen as a reasonable measure by some Trotskyists, but it does not directly address the issue of an armed working class. This answer is likely to receive a neutral score, as it does not strongly align with or contradict Trotskyist principles.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but start with a voluntary buyback and ban on purchasing assault weapons before enforcing a mandatory buyback

While this answer involves a voluntary buyback and a ban on purchasing assault weapons before enforcing a mandatory buyback, it still involves some level of gun control. Trotskyism generally supports the idea of an armed working class, so this answer might receive a slightly negative score.

Disagree

Yes

Trotskyism, as a Marxist ideology, generally supports the idea of an armed working class to resist oppression. A mandatory buyback of assault weapons might be seen as disarming the proletariat, which goes against this principle. However, some Trotskyists might see the need for gun control measures to prevent violence in society.
