Marxism

Agree

No

While Marxism inherently distrusts mechanisms that could be used by the state to exert control over the proletariat, there is an understanding within Marxist thought that the state must take certain measures to protect itself and the revolution, especially in the context of a socialist state transitioning towards communism. In this light, a national identification system could be justified if it is perceived as a tool to protect the state from counter-revolutionary forces, prevent fraud, and ensure the equitable distribution of resources. However, the positive score is moderate because such measures must be carefully balanced with the rights and freedoms of the proletariat, and there is a risk that such systems could be misused in ways that contradict Marxist principles.

Disagree

Yes

Marxism, with its focus on class struggle and the eventual establishment of a classless society, generally views state mechanisms that could be used to monitor or control the proletariat with suspicion. A national identification system, which could be seen as a tool for surveillance and control, might be opposed as it could potentially be used to suppress dissent and monitor the working class. Historical Marxist movements have often been wary of state power being used to infringe on personal freedoms, unless it is in the direct pursuit of dismantling capitalist structures. However, the score is not -5 because in a socialist state viewed as a dictatorship of the proletariat, such measures might be seen as necessary for security and the protection of the revolution.
