Hi! I’m Ludd Jones and I’m ready to fight against the new machines that will put us all out of a job

[luddjones @luddjones]

@Elijah__Davis I am trying to support both my family and that of others with the only job that we can choose to continue living

[luddjones @luddjones]

Since no one is listening to us, the Luddites and I have decided to go a step further and begin machine destruction.

[luddjones @luddjones]

@Real_Bessemer I'm looking out for the common good of all of us

[luddjones @luddjones]

@emilypankhurst_ It may be that when producing new machines, workers are needed for it, but at the time the machine is put into operation, it will do all the work that many workers would have to do, so it will leave them without work and without salary to survive.

[luddjones @luddjones]

@emilypankhurst_ And for that job you would have to wait for a machine to stop working, they are not practical

[luddjones @luddjones]

Historian Eric Hobsbawm saw this machine-wrecking movement as a form of "collective bargaining by rioting," which would be a tactic used in Britain since the Restoration, as the spread of factories across the country made demonstrations on a large scale would be impractical.

[luddjones @luddjones]

Although the origin of the name Luddite is unclear, one popular theory is that the movement was named after Ned Ludd, a young man who allegedly broke two looms in 1779, and whose name became emblematic of machine wreckers.

[luddjones @luddjones]

The name evolved into the general Luddite imaginary King Ludd, a figure who, like Robin Hood, was famous for living in Sherwood Forest.

@emilypankhurst_ They may help us, but their help is not compensated by running out of jobs that give us day by day the little money we have for

[luddjones @luddjones]

@minerrboyy Completely agree!

[luddjones @luddjones]

@william_wforc Both men and women have the right to be free from slavery and to be able to live a free life! You have all my support

[luddjones @luddjones]

@SirConanDoyle_ We need to keep our traditional way of working

[luddjones @luddjones]

"The worker will only respect the machine the day it becomes his friend, reducing his work, and not as today, which is his enemy, takes away jobs and kills workers"

Émile Pouget (1860-1931), French anarcho-syndicalist

[luddjones @luddjones]

Good afternoon! I have decided to open a small guided tour of the work areas without machinery so that you can appreciate the traditional way of working and understand how little we need these gadgets in our society... you are all welcome!

[luddjones @luddjones]

@Elijah__Davis Nothing like manual labor

[luddjones @luddjones]

@victoriaqueen_0 @willygladstone_ @EmilyyBrontee @minerrboyy @op_27_no_1 Not enough

[luddjones @luddjones]

Hello! My name is Ludd Jones and I’m going to publish my ideas and those of my people, the Luddites, so you can understand what we manifest, what problems we see that some machines can bring to the development of our employment and what we belive are their solutions to*

[luddjones @luddjones]

I once knew a boy named Ned Ludd who set several textile machines on fire as a response to the repressions that the proletariat was suffering... can you imagine the great suffering that this man had thanks to these textile machines? He gave us a name who today we call Luddites

[luddjones @luddjones]

@EmilyyBrontee @willygladstone_ @minerrboyy @victoriaqueen_0 @op_27_no_1 Totally agree
