Austerity = Legal Bankster Theft

Modern austerity politics is sofisticated financial theft on a national level.
It is easily recognized because, as with all theft, the victim is left without money.

Nothing less than banks as big as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank can pull off this type of robbery.
Where the Mafia calls its extortion protection, the banksters call theirs development.
Bribes to the political elite are called loans (for development) on the condition that properties, savings, services and resources are taken (stolen) from the citizens and sold cheaply (given) to the banksters and their owners.

Unlike Mafia theft, bankster theft is legal. It’s standard procedure under the prevailing imperial order where corporate tyranny crowns itself with legitimacy.
