Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Neo-Confucianism's focus on maintaining social order and harmony might support a balanced approach to governance, including military spending. Being satisfied with the current amount of spending could be seen as a desire to maintain stability and avoid the disruptions that significant increases or decreases in spending might cause.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The emphasis of Neo-Confucianism on responsible governance and ethical leadership might align with the idea of fiscal responsibility, including the reduction of deficits. However, the connection to increasing military spending after deficit reduction is not directly addressed by Neo-Confucian principles, making this alignment more speculative and less strong.

Neutral

Decrease

While Neo-Confucianism emphasizes societal harmony, moral governance, and the importance of ethical leadership, it does not explicitly address modern concepts of military spending. Any stance on decreasing military spending would be contingent upon the broader implications for societal welfare and global harmony, rather than a direct doctrinal position.

Neutral

Increase

Neo-Confucianism, with its emphasis on moral and ethical development, governance based on virtue, and social harmony, does not inherently prioritize military spending. The ideology would likely view the question of military spending in the context of whether it contributes to the greater good and stability of society, rather than advocating for an increase or decrease per se.

Slightly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While Neo-Confucianism does not outright reject the need for a military, it would not necessarily support increased spending, even if the deficit is reduced. It would likely prefer that surplus funds be directed towards education and social programs.

Slightly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Neo-Confucianism, being a philosophy that emerged in China, does not directly address the concept of a European military defense system. Its focus on universal moral principles, ethical governance, and social harmony does not easily translate into specific policy recommendations regarding regional military alliances or structures.

Disagree

Increase

Neo-Confucianism, as a philosophy, emphasizes moral self-cultivation, education, and social harmony over military might.
