The Luddites liked to smash things.

Yet, they did so with purpose as many who partook in the smashing were often unemployed workers who, through automation, we're alienated from their artisan labor.

So my question is this:

What if the Luddites, instead practicing their beliefs in small decentralized groups, we're a large organized political group with political & economic ideals. Say a Ludditism comparable to a Marxism

How would this effect the movement?

What do you think would be the shape of this organized ideology?

Could Ludditism work as collective movement?
