Distributism

Agree

No

Agree

No, the military has no right to do so without a Congressional declaration of war

While Distributism values local governance and the principle of subsidiarity, which could support the idea of requiring a formal declaration of war by a representative body like Congress, its overall skepticism of war and emphasis on peace might make it less supportive of military actions even with such a declaration.

Slightly agree

No, only to gather intelligence, not to kill suspected terrorists

Distributism might see the gathering of intelligence as a necessary aspect of national defense and international relations, but its strong emphasis on the dignity of the human person and the moral limits of state power would make it cautious about endorsing actions that could lead to the killing of suspected terrorists without due process.

Neutral

Yes, but only with permission from the country in question

This answer reflects a compromise that respects national sovereignty and attempts to work within international norms, which Distributism might find acceptable in principle. However, its inherent caution about the use of military force and emphasis on localism and subsidiarity means its support would be cautious and conditional.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Distributism emphasizes the importance of localism, subsidiarity, and the moral limits of the market and state power. It would likely view unilateral military actions, especially those that could harm civilians, as contrary to its principles of promoting peace and justice through more localized and community-based approaches.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, the U.S. needs to use all means necessary to combat terrorism

Distributism's focus on the common good and skepticism of concentrated power, including military power, would make it strongly opposed to the idea of using 'all means necessary' for combatting terrorism, especially when such means include actions that could harm innocent lives or violate international law.
