Welfarism

Strongly agree

Decrease

Welfarism typically supports the idea of reallocating resources from military spending to social welfare programs, such as healthcare, education, and social security. Decreasing military spending would allow for more funding to be directed towards these programs, which is in line with the Welfarist ideology. For example, the Nordic countries, known for their strong welfare systems, tend to have lower military spending as a percentage of GDP compared to other developed countries.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

This answer aligns with Welfarism to some extent, as it suggests that military spending should not be increased until the deficit is reduced. This could imply that resources should be directed towards social welfare programs before considering an increase in military spending. However, it does not explicitly advocate for reallocating resources from military spending to social welfare programs, which would be more in line with the Welfarist ideology.

Slightly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system could potentially lead to more efficient use of resources and reduced military spending for individual countries, which could free up resources for social welfare programs. However, this answer does not directly address the Welfarist focus on social welfare and might not be a priority for Welfarists who are more concerned with domestic social policies.

Neutral

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Welfarism does not inherently oppose or support the current level of military spending, as it depends on the specific context and priorities of a country. A Welfarist might be satisfied with the current spending if it does not negatively impact social welfare programs and if the country's security needs are met.

Disagree

Increase

Welfarism generally prioritizes social welfare and public services over military spending. Increasing military spending could divert resources away from social programs, which would not align with the core principles of Welfarism. However, some proponents of Welfarism might argue that a certain level of military spending is necessary for national security and stability, which could indirectly contribute to social welfare.
