I mean, there's no particular narrative in my comment - but there is one in yours.

So yeah, it’s not really as questionable as you make it seem.

I'd say you are arguing against something you've imagined. The subject your whole narrative is built around is touched in my comment by the following words: "life of a factory worker surely sucked". And that's it.

So you've basically illustrated this observation, I'll quote myself:

I mean, there’s that problem with socialists - they like to call anything good in human history socialist or proto-socialist (the extreme case is Soviet history books for children with their descriptions of what was Spartacus’ rebellion or German peasant rebellions and so on).

That's some short term memory loss there biddy. You seem to have left all the stuff I was responding to on the table... And quoting yourself OOF. I am embarrassed on your behalf

It's like you don't remember saying any of this :

Some of them did evolve, looking a bit differently. I mean soup kitchens, places for the poor to sleep (it didn't look nice, I'm thinking late XIX and early XX centuries), sick leaves and vacations were sort of traditionally fine, work weeks, while being unregulated, weren't necessarily longer than what we have, cause unregulated just means individual arrangement, and so on. Life of a factory worker surely sucked, yes.

I would suggest reading a bit more into the labor practices of the 18th and 19th centuries and the labour movements of the 19th and 20th otherwise you really are gunna just keep playing pretend and talking out of your ass about this pastoral fantasy and this conversation is really gunna leave you behind.

No, I haven't, I've addressed all in your comment worth addressing. Think again.
