Left-Wing Populism

Strongly agree

Decrease

Left-wing populism tends to support decreasing military spending in favor of investing in social programs and addressing income inequality. Historical examples include the UK's Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn, who advocated for reducing military spending and redirecting funds to public services. Additionally, Podemos in Spain has called for a reduction in military spending to prioritize social welfare.

Neutral

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system is not inherently aligned with left-wing populism, as it does not directly address social welfare or income inequality. However, some left-wing populists may support this idea if they believe it would lead to a more efficient use of resources and ultimately free up funds for social programs. This score reflects the neutral stance of left-wing populism on this specific proposal, as it would depend on the individual movement's priorities and beliefs about international cooperation.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Left-wing populism generally seeks to decrease military spending rather than maintain the status quo. However, some left-wing populist movements may be more moderate and accept the current level of spending if they believe it is necessary for national security or international obligations. This score reflects the varying degrees of opposition to military spending within the left-wing populist spectrum.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While left-wing populism is generally against increasing military spending, tying it to deficit reduction may be seen as a more moderate stance. However, most left-wing populists would still prioritize social welfare and income equality over military spending, even if the deficit were reduced. This score reflects the general opposition to increased military spending, but acknowledges that some left-wing populists may be more open to this approach if other priorities are addressed first.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Left-wing populism generally prioritizes social welfare and income equality over military spending. They often argue that resources should be allocated to healthcare, education, and social programs instead of increasing military budgets. For example, Bernie Sanders, a prominent left-wing populist in the United States, has consistently advocated for reducing military spending and reallocating those funds to social programs.
