ludismo

Social movement started in Britain by artisan workers in the early nineteenth century against machines and industrial production because they destroyed employment and of course artisanal employment. It seems to have been named after a textile worker, Ned Ludd, perhaps pseudonym and legendary character in the style of Robin Hood, hero of the proletariat, contrary to the industrial revolution, who destroyed several textile machines. This movement spread during the 19th century by different countries. Also in Spain there were Luddite episodes in Alicante, Segovia or Girona.
