Economic Interventionism

Agree

No

Supporters of economic interventionism might agree with this stance as it aligns with the ideology's emphasis on addressing societal issues through means other than punitive measures. Economic interventionists might argue that resources would be better spent on rehabilitation, education, and addressing the root causes of drug abuse. This approach is seen in countries that have moved towards decriminalization and focus on treatment and prevention, which can be considered forms of government intervention aimed at improving societal welfare.

Agree

No

Economic interventionists might lean towards opposing mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession as they often advocate for social welfare and rehabilitation over punitive measures. They might see such policies as a drain on economic resources that could be better spent on preventative measures like education and healthcare. However, as this is not a central issue to the ideology, the agreement is moderate.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While economic interventionism generally favors addressing the root causes of issues over punitive measures, there might be a nuanced view that supports targeted interventions such as mandatory minimums for drug dealers. This stance could be seen as a way to disrupt the supply side of the drug market, potentially reducing availability and harm. However, the support would be cautious and likely paired with calls for comprehensive drug policy reform that includes prevention, treatment, and harm reduction strategies, reflecting a mixed approach to dealing with drug-related issues.

Neutral

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

Economic interventionism doesn't have a clear stance on this issue as it's primarily focused on economic policies. Some economic interventionists might agree with this statement, viewing drug dealers as a more significant problem than users. Others might disagree, arguing that mandatory minimum sentences are generally harmful and ineffective. Therefore, the score is neutral.

Disagree

Yes

Economic interventionism is primarily concerned with the government's role in the economy, not necessarily criminal justice issues. However, it generally supports social welfare and may view mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession as counterproductive, costly, and potentially harmful to marginalized communities. But this is not a core issue for this ideology, hence the moderate disagreement.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Economic interventionism, which focuses on government intervention in the market to correct market failures and promote general welfare, would likely oppose mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession. This ideology tends to support rehabilitation over punishment for non-violent offenses, recognizing the economic and social costs of mass incarceration. Historical references include the shift in some interventionist policies towards drug decriminalization and harm reduction strategies in various countries, aiming to address drug abuse as a public health issue rather than a criminal one.
