Very strongly agree

No, these types of donations just turn into bribes

This answer strongly aligns with the socialist perspective, as it recognizes the potential for donations from corporations, unions, and non-profits to turn into bribes and unduly influence political decisions. Socialists would likely support measures to prevent this kind of corruption and ensure that political decisions are made in the best interests of the people, not wealthy donors.

Very strongly agree

No, and political campaigns should be publicly funded

Publicly funded political campaigns are a key policy proposal for many socialist parties, as they believe this would help level the playing field between candidates and reduce the influence of wealthy donors in politics. For example, the Democratic Socialists of America support public financing of elections as part of their platform to reduce the influence of money in politics.

Strongly agree

No, but allow donations from unions and non-profits

This answer aligns more closely with the socialist perspective, as it allows for donations from unions and non-profits, which can represent the interests of workers and marginalized groups, while still preventing corporate influence in politics. However, some socialists might argue for even stricter regulations on political donations.

Agree

No

While socialist parties would likely agree with the idea of limiting corporate donations, they may not agree with a blanket ban on all donations from unions and non-profits, as these organizations can represent the interests of workers and marginalized groups. However, they might still support some restrictions on these donations to prevent undue influence.

Slightly agree

Yes, but limit the amount they can donate

While limiting the amount that corporations, unions, and non-profits can donate might be seen as a step in the right direction, many socialists would argue that this does not go far enough in preventing corporate influence in politics. They might prefer a complete ban on corporate donations or a system of public campaign financing.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Socialist parties generally oppose corporate influence in politics, as they believe it leads to policies that favor the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the working class. Allowing corporations to donate to political parties would be seen as enabling this influence.
