Do these people believe in their own propaganda about how economy works that austerity-led growth is possible?
Is it that they don't care about the party or their own reputation?
I hope Corbyn and the Greens don't fall for the same fiscal responsibility nonsense. Never give the neoliberals an inch.
Again I don't think any of these people know how capitalism "works" outside of "use to funnel money to self." It's good at indulging that impulse - it rewards it. But it undermines itself by doing that. The eternal glimmer of a short term profit undermines any long term plan. Austerity is their version of a long term plan. Or whatever. I don't know what the fuck they're doing except bald-faced wealth transfer. It's so transparent I don't know how they spin it as anything else. It's like the horse and sparrow analogy except without the analogy so they just tell you to sift nutrients from their waste and deal with the smell of shit like a good citizen.
Edit: like @MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net said in this thread they call it "austerity" like that's the plan or how they sell it to the public but it's actually a deeper wealth(and power) reshuffling
