Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

This answer aligns closely with TUSC's ideology of advocating for government intervention and oversight in the economy, especially in critical sectors. By receiving equity for financial aid, the government can ensure that public funds are used responsibly and that there is a mechanism for public accountability. This approach is in line with TUSC's broader goals of socializing the economy and ensuring that workers and the public have a stake in major industries.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) advocates for increased government intervention in the economy to protect workers' rights and public services. Acquiring equity stakes in companies during a recession aligns with their broader goal of moving towards a more socialist economy, where the government has a say in the operations of key industries. However, their ultimate goal is more towards public ownership rather than temporary equity stakes, which slightly moderates this score.

Strongly disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

TUSC would likely argue that government involvement in companies, especially during times of economic crisis, does not impede technological progress but rather can ensure that such progress benefits society as a whole. They might contend that without government intervention, the drive for profit can lead to monopolistic practices that stifle competition more than government equity stakes would. While they might acknowledge some risks of government involvement in business, they would likely see the benefits of such actions outweighing the potential drawbacks in terms of stifling competition.

Very strongly disagree

No

TUSC's political ideology strongly opposes laissez-faire capitalism and promotes government intervention in the economy to safeguard the interests of the working class. The idea of not acquiring equity stakes in companies, even as a form of bailout during economic downturns, would be contrary to their principles of ensuring that public money is used in a way that benefits society at large, rather than just saving companies without gaining any control or oversight.

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

TUSC fundamentally disagrees with the notion that the government should never own shares of private companies. Their platform is built on the idea of increasing public ownership and control over key sectors of the economy to ensure they operate in the interest of the majority rather than for private profit. This stance directly contradicts the principle of government non-involvement in company ownership.
