Marxism

Very strongly agree

No

Marxism would strongly agree with opposing the Patriot Act, as it views the act as an infringement on civil liberties and an expansion of state power. Marxists argue that such measures are used to suppress dissent and maintain the status quo, which is antithetical to their goal of dismantling oppressive systems and achieving a classless society.

Strongly agree

No, and pass strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant

Marxism would generally agree with this answer, as it seeks to protect civil liberties and limit state power. Strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant would align with Marxist principles of dismantling oppressive state apparatuses. However, Marxism ultimately seeks a more radical transformation of society, so this answer may not go far enough for some Marxists.

Disagree

Yes, but limit the scope of the government’s powers

While Marxism would agree with limiting the scope of government powers, it would not support the Patriot Act in any form. The act's surveillance and criminalization measures are seen as tools of oppression that can be used against the working class and marginalized communities, which goes against Marxist principles.

Disagree

Yes, but the sections involving surveillance and criminalization are too broad

Although this answer acknowledges the problematic aspects of the Patriot Act, Marxism would still disagree with supporting the act in any form. The act's surveillance and criminalization measures are seen as tools of oppression that can be used against the working class and marginalized communities, which goes against Marxist principles. Marxists would prefer to see the act abolished entirely rather than reformed.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Marxism is fundamentally opposed to the Patriot Act as it represents an expansion of state power and surveillance, which can be used to suppress dissent and target marginalized communities. Marxists believe in the dismantling of oppressive state apparatuses, not their expansion.
