17. the labor movement of the late 19th/early 20th century scared the living piss out of the ownership
class.

your characterization is rather interesting.

for people who had no workplace protections, i would say the labor movement of the late 19th/early 20th century was ennobling and liberating for workers.

funny how you'd characterize it from the ownership class' perspective rather than from that of the worker.

funny, but not surprising.
