Radicalism

Strongly agree

Decrease

Radicals typically advocate for a decrease in military spending, as they often view it as a tool for maintaining oppressive power structures and promoting imperialism. For example, during the Cold War, radical movements in both the United States and Europe called for disarmament and a reduction in military spending, arguing that resources should be redirected towards social programs and addressing inequality.

Slightly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system might not align with the goals of radicalism, as it could still perpetuate militarism and power structures. However, this answer might be more appealing to some radicals if it leads to a decrease in overall military spending and a shift towards a more cooperative and less aggressive approach to international relations.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While reducing the deficit might be a concern for some radicals, they are more likely to prioritize decreasing military spending and reallocating resources to social programs. The idea of increasing military spending after reducing the deficit still goes against the core principles of radicalism, which seeks to challenge existing power structures and promote social change.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Radicalism is generally not satisfied with the status quo, and maintaining current levels of military spending is unlikely to align with their goals of promoting social and political change. Radicals often argue that military spending perpetuates existing power structures and diverts resources from more pressing social issues.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Radicalism often seeks to challenge the status quo and promote social and political change. Increasing military spending is generally not in line with these goals, as it can perpetuate existing power structures and divert resources from social programs. For example, during the Vietnam War, many radicals in the United States opposed increased military spending and instead advocated for investments in education, healthcare, and other social services.
