Cansat de sentir a la tertúlia de Cat Ràdio que es posa el moviment ludita com a exemple de reacció a l’innovació. El moviment ludita no anava contra la màquina en sí, era un moviment que feia sabotatge al capital per voler fotre la gent al carrer. El moviment ludita era sindicalisme.

Big win by the left in CPH (Ø, F and A). It opens up for the possibility of a non-Socialdemocrat leadership, unable to tackle the housing affordability crisis and in a reactionary spiral. This quite a break in a historical feud for A.
