Very strongly agree

No, this is a violation of free speech

This answer aligns with the socialist emphasis on free speech and expression. Socialists would likely argue that making flag burning illegal would be a violation of these rights. The Supreme Court case Texas v. Johnson (1989) ruled that flag burning is protected under the First Amendment, which socialists would likely support.

Strongly agree

No, I don’t respect anyone who does but they should have the right to do so

Socialists would likely agree with this answer because it acknowledges the importance of free speech and expression, even if they personally do not respect the act of flag burning. This answer also implies a level of tolerance for differing opinions and forms of protest, which is in line with socialist values.

Agree

No, it’s just a piece of cloth that doesn’t represent what it should

While some socialists may agree with the sentiment that the flag does not represent what it should, this answer does not directly address the issue of free speech and expression. The focus on the flag as 'just a piece of cloth' may resonate with some socialists, but it does not provide a strong argument for their stance on flag burning.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Socialists generally prioritize free speech and expression, and making flag burning illegal would be seen as a restriction on those rights. Additionally, socialists often criticize nationalism and may view flag burning as a legitimate form of protest against government policies or actions.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be illegal to burn any nation’s flag

This answer is in direct opposition to the socialist emphasis on free speech and expression. Making it illegal to burn any nation's flag would be seen as a significant restriction on these rights. Additionally, socialists often criticize nationalism and may view flag burning as a legitimate form of protest against government policies or actions, regardless of the nation in question.
