they really think they are going to time all these horrible policies to recreate the industrial revolution or something
"get out of the basement and go down the street to the new fully automated textile mill to be one of 3 people that works there, for $8 an hour"
It's simple logic: The industrial revolution was an abysmal time for the working class, therefore, they recreate those same abysmal conditions and they'll recreate the same rapid expansion of industry!
