Anti-Communism

Strongly agree

Increase

Anti-communism ideology, particularly during the Cold War, emphasized the need for a strong military to counter the perceived threat of communism. Increased military spending was seen as necessary to maintain a strong defense against potential communist aggression. However, the score is not a 5 because some anti-communists may prioritize other methods of countering communism, such as economic or diplomatic measures.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

This answer aligns with the anti-communist belief in a strong military defense but also acknowledges the importance of fiscal responsibility. Some anti-communists may prioritize reducing the deficit before increasing military spending, while others may believe that the threat of communism necessitates immediate increases in military spending.

Neutral

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Being satisfied with the current amount of military spending would depend on the individual's perception of the current defense capabilities and the perceived threat of communism. Some anti-communists may be satisfied with the current spending, while others may believe it is insufficient or excessive.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system instead of increasing military spending may not align with the anti-communist focus on a strong national defense against communism. However, some anti-communists may see the value in a collective defense system to counter the communist threat, especially if it involves cooperation with other anti-communist nations.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Decreasing military spending would generally be seen as weakening the defense against communism, which goes against the core principles of anti-communism. However, the score is not a -5 because some anti-communists may believe that military spending could be more efficiently allocated or that other methods of countering communism should be prioritized.
