Monetary austerity, the weapon of choice for the Tories is about the subjugation of workers, the evisceration and criminalizing of the unions. Conversely, corporate and political elites are changing laws to extort and concentrate public money, your money as their own personal ATM
Protectionism, regulation, workers rights, environmental laws are in the libertarian mindset 'oppressive constraints of democracy'. It's OK for them to steal your money to subsidize business but the welfare state is somehow scrounging when you need help because of their fuckups.
The financial system is your system, your money, your taxes built that system, it is not for disaster capitalists to loot and exploit at their leisure. Capitalism is disproportionately weighted to preserve political and economic dominance, this entrenches inequality #Libertarian
Throughout history, right wing economists invented austerity as a political tactic to consolidate the bourgeois social order, doff cap, tug forelock. All to increase profits for shareholders while decreasing wages for low to middle income workers.
