Democratic Socialism

Strongly agree

Decrease

Democratic Socialism supports decreasing military spending in favor of investing in social programs, education, healthcare, and infrastructure. This is evident in the policy proposals of politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, who have both advocated for reallocating military funds to address domestic issues.

Slightly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

While Democratic Socialism does emphasize international cooperation, the creation of a European military defense system is not a primary focus of the ideology. Instead, Democratic Socialists would likely advocate for a decrease in military spending and a focus on diplomacy and international cooperation through existing organizations like the United Nations.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Democratic Socialism is more likely to advocate for a decrease in military spending rather than an increase, even if the deficit is reduced. The ideology prioritizes social programs and addressing inequality, and increasing military spending would likely divert resources away from these goals.

This is in line with the ideology's focus on addressing social and economic inequality, as well as promoting diplomacy and international cooperation over militarism.
