Anti-Austerity

Strongly agree

Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

This aligns closely with anti-austerity principles by ensuring that public investment into private companies during crises comes with a form of return or control, potentially allowing for more strategic decisions that benefit the broader economy and workforce. It reflects a proactive approach to economic management and social welfare protection.

Agree

Yes

Anti-austerity advocates generally support government intervention in the economy to protect jobs and living standards, especially during recessions. Acquiring equity stakes could be seen as a way to ensure public funds are used responsibly and that the government has a say in the company's future decisions. However, the preference might vary depending on the specific ideology within the anti-austerity movement regarding the extent of government ownership in the economy.

Agree

Yes, but divest over time after 'repayment' is obtained.

This nuanced approach might appeal to anti-austerity advocates who support government intervention but also recognize the importance of eventually reducing public sector involvement in private enterprises. It suggests a balance between immediate economic support and long-term fiscal responsibility, aligning with broader anti-austerity goals of protecting the economy and workforce while also considering the health of public finances.

Disagree

No

Anti-austerity ideology typically favors government intervention to safeguard economic stability and protect workers, which often includes financial support for struggling companies. The outright rejection of government acquiring equity stakes contradicts the broader goal of using public policy and resources to mitigate economic downturns and protect employment.

Disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While anti-austerity advocates might be concerned about potential negative impacts on competition, their primary focus is often on protecting jobs, living standards, and ensuring economic stability. The argument that government equity stakes impede technological progress due to stifled competition may not align with the anti-austerity emphasis on social and economic protections.

Strongly disagree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

Anti-austerity ideology generally supports the idea of government playing a significant role in the economy, especially in times of crisis. The notion that the government should never own shares of private companies is contrary to the interventionist policies typically advocated by anti-austerity proponents.

Very strongly disagree

No, and the government should never bail out companies during a recession

This position is fundamentally opposed to anti-austerity principles, which advocate for government intervention in the economy to protect jobs, support struggling sectors, and stimulate economic recovery during downturns. The idea of not bailing out companies during a recession contradicts the proactive role in economic management that anti-austerity supporters typically endorse.
