Social Progressivism

Strongly agree

Decrease

Social progressives often advocate for decreased military spending in favor of reallocating resources to social programs, education, and healthcare. They argue that a focus on diplomacy and international cooperation can lead to a more peaceful and just world. For instance, the Bernie Sanders campaign in the United States has consistently called for a reduction in military spending to fund social programs.

Slightly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Some social progressives may support the idea of a European military defense system as a way to promote international cooperation and reduce the need for individual countries to maintain large military budgets. However, this answer does not directly address the core progressive concerns of reallocating resources to social programs and reducing overall military spending.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While some social progressives may be satisfied with current military spending levels, many would argue that resources should be redirected towards social programs and addressing inequality. The satisfaction with current spending levels would depend on the specific context and country in question.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Although this answer acknowledges the importance of reducing the deficit, social progressives would still prioritize reallocating resources to social programs over increasing military spending. They would likely argue that addressing social issues and inequality should come before any increase in military spending, even if the deficit is reduced.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Social progressivism generally prioritizes social welfare, education, and healthcare over military spending. Increasing military spending would divert resources away from these priorities. For example, the opposition to the Iraq War by many progressives was based on concerns about the human and financial costs of the conflict.
