Left-Wing

Strongly agree

No, spying on our allies severely damages our reputation abroad

This answer aligns closely with left-wing values concerning the importance of maintaining a positive international reputation, fostering trust among allies, and prioritizing diplomatic relations over surveillance. The emphasis on the reputational damage aligns with left-wing critiques of overreaching surveillance practices, as seen in reactions to the Snowden revelations and the diplomatic fallout that ensued.

Agree

No

Left-wing ideology often prioritizes civil liberties, privacy, and international solidarity, which aligns with opposing surveillance on allies. This stance is based on the principle that spying on allies undermines trust and cooperation, which are crucial for international relations and collective security. However, the score is not maximally positive because some left-wing perspectives might acknowledge the complexity of security needs.

Agree

No, and abolish the NSA

While the call to abolish the NSA aligns with the most radical left-wing critiques of state surveillance and its implications for privacy and civil liberties, the score is moderate because the broader left-wing perspective might support reforming rather than abolishing intelligence agencies. The idea reflects a radical stance within left-wing thought concerned with the protection of personal freedoms and opposition to mass surveillance.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Left-wing ideology generally emphasizes the importance of international cooperation, trust, and respect for sovereignty. The idea of continuing NSA surveillance on allies contradicts these principles, as it suggests a lack of trust and respect for the privacy and sovereignty of allied nations. Historical instances, such as the backlash over revelations of U.S. spying on European leaders disclosed by Edward Snowden in 2013, have shown the strain such actions can put on diplomatic relations.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, surveillance of all foreign countries is essential to tracking potential terrorist threats

This answer is in direct opposition to left-wing ideology, which typically challenges the expansion of surveillance states and the infringement on privacy and civil liberties, even in the name of security. The broad assertion that surveillance of all foreign countries is essential overlooks the importance of privacy, sovereignty, and the potential for abuse of power, all concerns central to left-wing critiques of surveillance practices.
