The revolution of parliamentarism was fundamentally a bourgeois revolution. The emerging capitalist class, the bourgeoisie, mobilised the serfs and peasants to fight against the crown and the remnants of feudal authority. Promising liberation and rights, they enlisted the support of the lower classes in their struggle for power. However, once the old feudal structures were dismantled, the bourgeoisie imposed a new form of exploitation.
The serfs and peasants, who had hoped for genuine freedom, found themselves bound to the capitalist system, enslaved to a wage labour system that benefited the new ruling class.

This fundamental dynamic has remained unchanged. Parliament has forever been predominantly controlled by wealthy landowners and capitalists. It is within these halls that the interests of the bourgeoisie are served and perpetuated. Even as political systems have evolved, the essence of parliamentary power remains tied to economic control. Those who enter parliament, regardless of their origins, are often assimilated into the bourgeois class, adopting its interests and perpetuating its dominance.

The promises of democracy and representation are thus compromised by the underlying economic realities. The parliamentary system, while appearing inclusive and participatory, functions to maintain the status quo of capitalist exploitation. The power of wealth and property continues to dictate the decisions made within these institutions, ensuring that the interests of the working class are subordinate to those of the bourgeoisie.

Austerity is anti-worker and further increases the burden on the masses.

By cutting funding to vital services, austerity measures disproportionately harm the working class, exacerbating their exploitation and oppression.

Such reductions in public spending undermine the social safety net, leading to increased hardship and instability for workers. This, in turn, intensifies the contradictions within capitalism, as the state's retreat from providing essential services shifts the burden onto workers, deepening inequality and social stratification.

Ultimately, austerity measures serve to protect capitalist interests at the expense of the proletariat, further entrenching the power dynamics that we must seek to dismantle.

On this day, 24 May 1910, German shipyard worker August Landmesser was born. He is best known as probably being the worker defiantly refusing to perform a Nazi salute at a ship launch. Falling in love with a Jewish woman, he fell foul of Nazi race laws. Refusing to end the relationship, he was jailed and connoscripted to a penal battalion where he was killed. His partner was sent to a women's concentration camp and killed.
