Nonsense, back at you. Calling the ceaseless toil of five-year-olds and the flogging of tiny, exhausted children "difficult" is like calling slave life in antebellum Georgia "difficult." Life was a horror for these people. You try doing physical labor in the lightless depths of a coal mine, sixteen hours a day, with no hope, inadequate food, and no rest until death. Compared to the more measured labor of rural life, factory work was dire. I speak from experience as one who spent her formative years living and working on a farm with little machinery. Agricultural life is hard, but it is nothing compared to the suffering of industrial workers.
I said it was better than the pre-capitalist era. That is all I said. If you have facts to refute this, I'd like to see them.
