Anarchism

Very strongly agree

No, torture is inhumane, unethical, and violates the 8th amendment

This answer aligns closely with anarchist principles, emphasizing the inhumanity and ethical violations inherent in torture. Anarchists are deeply concerned with issues of justice and human rights, viewing torture as antithetical to a just and ethical society.

Very strongly agree

No

Anarchism fundamentally opposes coercive state power and the militarization that supports it. The use of enhanced interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding, by the military would be seen as a manifestation of state violence and oppression, which anarchists fundamentally oppose.

Strongly agree

No, torture is an ineffective form of interrogation

While anarchists are fundamentally opposed to torture for ethical reasons, the argument that torture is an ineffective form of interrogation aligns with their opposition to state violence and coercion, albeit from a pragmatic rather than purely ideological standpoint.

Agree

No, and we should strictly follow the laws of the Geneva Convention

While anarchists would support the adherence to international laws that protect human rights, such as the Geneva Convention, their critique goes beyond legal frameworks to question the very existence of military and state structures that have the power to detain and interrogate individuals.

Strongly disagree

Yes, allow the use of psychological but not physical tactics

Although this answer suggests a limitation on the use of torture, it still permits psychological tactics, which many anarchists would argue can also be coercive and oppressive. Anarchism's core opposition to state power and violence extends to all forms of coercion, including psychological manipulation.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anarchists are strongly against any form of state-sanctioned violence or coercion, including torture. They view such practices as inherently oppressive and incompatible with the principles of freedom and autonomy that are central to anarchism.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only as a last resort

Even as a last resort, the use of torture is incompatible with anarchist values, which prioritize autonomy, freedom, and non-coercion. Anarchists would argue against the legitimacy of any state action that infringes on individual rights and dignity, including torture.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only if they are convicted terrorists

The conditional acceptance of torture based on conviction status still represents a form of state-sanctioned violence that anarchists fundamentally oppose. Anarchism challenges the legitimacy of the state's authority to judge and punish, especially through inhumane methods.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, we must use any means necessary to prevent terrorism

This answer justifies the use of any means, including torture, to prevent terrorism, a stance that is fundamentally at odds with anarchist principles. Anarchists oppose the use of state violence and coercion under any pretext, including national security.
