Most of human history was like this. The 50 year period after WWII is the aberration. If we don’t fight the oligarchs this is what they will reduce us to.

Most of human history…hmm checks notes… since the invention of capitalism about 400 years ago, yes.
Even serfs under feudal lords had significantly more free time and while basic child labor was common, it was mostly in family run farms.

Instructions unclear, reverted to feudalism, defended literal, inherited pile of manure with violence

Pre-industrial societies still expected children to work from young ages. And they would often switch to adult labour in their early teens.

Ya preindustrial society was all kinds of fucked up. That comment was unhinged.

Right, but the industrial revolution wasn’t the mark of the start of this. The end of Feudalism is what they’re pointing towards. And they’re not arguing for Feudalism either, but rather that we should do neither capitalism nor Feudalism
