It is quite funny that over 2 centuries after Industrial Revolution we would come back to ludo rebels.

It's funny until you realise the Industrial Revolution delivered 1700 years of growth in the space of 30 for the UK and the amount of prolonged suffering and death the Luddites caused is unforgivable (then and now).

Whoever said religion is the only thing that makes good people do evil things and smart people do the dumbest things forgot about Socialism.

Well you are right, shouldn't have used "funny".

Socialists and the like refuse to accept that capitalism "by itself" have brought quality of life that basically makes the very poor of today living a standard better than kings of the past.

And all the cries "for the poor" on minimum standards is even crazier. Basically they raise the minimum standard every time, until middle class at the time is considered very poor. Because there are people with a house, 2 cars, food, amenities but that is supposedely bellow the living standard because that person have to work 8h/day.

Without the "greedy and exploitivy" bosses these guys would be on farms working 12 to 14h/day to have only enough to eat.
