Frame-breakers, or Luddites, smashing a loom. Machine-breaking was criminalized by the Parliament of the United Kingdom as early as 1721, the penalty being penal transportation, but as a result of continued opposition to mechanisation the Frame-Breaking Act 1812 made the death penalty available: see "Criminal damage in English law".

The Luddites were onto something. By Devin Thomas O’Shea (Jacobin, July 7, 2023). “England’s Luddites are often dismissed as kooky technophobes. In reality, theirs was a gutsy pre-Marxist workers’ movement that prioritized people and nature over private property.”

Celebrate the return of Ned Ludd (Counterfire, 20 January 2013). “The Luddites were a movement of protest against the use of technology to destroy their livelihoods. John Westmoreland looks at what we can learn from them.”

The Real Luddites. By Simon Basketter (Socialist Worker, Issue 2292, 28 February 2012). “The word ‘Luddite’ is thrown around as an insult – but the truth is that Luddism was a working class movement that struck fear into the hearts of the rich.”

Luddites were not backward looking. By Cathy Nugent (Workers’ Liberty, 22 February 2012). “The Luddite revolt was not, as it has been depicted, an irrational response to ‘inevitable’ technological change. It was an attempt by the groups of workers most affected by industrialisation to stop their livelihoods from being destroyed.”

Rebels against the machine. By Suzanne Jeffrey (Socialist Review, Issue 169, November 1993). “The common view of the Luddites is of mindless machine wreckers. In fact the Luddite movement was a highly politicised response to the assaults of a new ruling class.”
