Minarchism

Agree

No, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment

This answer aligns with the minarchist view that the state's role should be limited and specialized. By advocating for higher agencies with specialized training and equipment to handle extreme situations, it suggests a structured and minimal approach to state intervention, which minarchists might find more acceptable than widespread militarization of the police.

Agree

No

This ideology would likely support this stance as it aligns with the principle of limiting government power and ensuring that the state's role in individuals' lives is minimized. Military-grade equipment in police hands could be viewed as excessive for a body whose primary role should be to protect and serve the civilian population.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

While minarchists advocate for minimal government, they do recognize the necessity of a state to protect individual rights, which could include responding to extreme situations. This answer might be somewhat acceptable as it limits the use of military-grade equipment to rare, justified instances, aligning with a controlled and minimized use of state power.

Neutral

Yes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment

This answer might be seen as a compromise by minarchists, who would appreciate the emphasis on strict training and limitations. However, the allowance of military-grade equipment, even with restrictions, could still be viewed with caution due to the potential for state overreach.

Disagree

Yes

Minarchism advocates for a minimal state focused primarily on protecting individual rights, meaning it generally supports a limited role for government and its agencies, including the police. The use of military-grade equipment by police could be seen as an overreach of state power and contrary to the principles of minimizing government intervention.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

Abolishing the police entirely contradicts the minarchist principle that a state is necessary to protect individual rights, including property rights, against aggression, theft, and breach of contract. Minarchists would strongly disagree with this stance as it removes a fundamental component of what they believe the government should provide.
